Assessment of Digital Consultations on Clinical Impact and Efficiency Using a RCT (ADMINISTER) Trial

123456567

Healthcare workers have a high workload as compared to other sectors and this burden is projected to increase due to an aging society. It is and will in the future be challenging to deliver optimal HF care because of personnel shortages, the high costs of healthcare, intensive GDMT uptitration schedules, and an epidemic rise in HF patients.This study aims to evaluate the impact of digital consultations (DC) on efficiency and clinical impact in heart failure (HF) patients. A randomized controlled trial on multifaceted digital consults including 1) digital data sharing (e.g. exchange of pharmacotherapy use, home measured vital signs, etc), 2) patient education via an eLearning, and 3) digital guideline recommendations to treating physicians. Included patients will be randomly (1:1) assigned to the intervention group or standard care. The ADMINISTER trial is expected to offer the first robust randomized controlled multicenter data of GDMT prescription rates, time till full GDMT optimization, time spent on healthcare, patient satisfaction and quality of life of digital consults in GDMT optimization.
