What recommendations do NICE make for monitoring heart failure?
All people with chronic heart failure need monitoring. The committee discussed groups of people who may not be able to access STS which included those from socioeconomically disadvantaged groups who do not have access to touch tone telephone. In addition, people whose first language is not English may also have difficulty accessing this form of support. The committee also agreed that the intensification of more conventional methods of delivering care, such as more home visits or clinic visits could deliver results similar to those of home telemonitoring.
