The interface between eHealth technologies and disease management in chronic conditions such as chronic heart failure (CHF) has advanced beyond the research domain. The substantial morbidity, mortality, health resource utilization and costs imposed by chronic disease, accompanied by increasing prevalence, complex comorbidities and changing client and health staff demographics, have pushed the boundaries of eHealth to alleviate costs whilst maintaining services. Whilst the intentions are laudable and the technology is appealing, this nonetheless requires careful scrutiny. This review aims to describe this technology and explore the current evidence and measures to enhance its implementation.
在慢性心力衰竭(CHF)等慢性病中,电子健康技术与疾病管理之间的接口已超越研究领域。慢性病带来的高发病率、死亡率、健康资源利用和成本,再加上患病率上升、复杂的合并症以及客户和医护人员人口结构的变化,促使电子健康突破界限以降低成本同时维持服务。尽管意图值得称赞且技术颇具吸引力,但仍需仔细审视。本综述旨在描述这项技术,并探索当前的证据以及加强其实施的措施。
