Detailed Description:
Background
Tele-home health care which providers for video interactions between home-based veterans and home care nurses is a potentially useful adjunct to home care services However few randomized trials have been conducted of this technology
Objectives
The primary objectives were to determine if tele-home health care patients compared with patients receiving usual home care have1 higher levels of health related quality of life and home care satisfaction 2 fewer inpatient admissions hospital stays and outpatient and emergency room visits and 3 higher levels of home care access in terms of the total number of contacts between HBPC nurses and patients
Methods
Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention or to the control group Video tele-health units were installed in patient homes for the intervention group and control group patients received usual home care services Baseline and six month follow up surveys included questions on perceived health related quality of life and home care satisfaction T-tests were used to compare intervention and control group members in terms of six month changes in health related quality of life and satisfaction with home care Multivariate analyses were used to assess group differences in six month health care service use with prior service use and survival included as covariates
Status
The study is completed with a final enrollment of 37 patients Three study manuscripts have been completed two published and one under review
