Abstract

Long term home based LVAD therapy provides new challenges in outpatient care. In 2009 we discharged our first patient for long term home based care. At this time we relied upon the patient contacting our team if there was a deterioration in condition. Sometimes this meant we were already behind in treatment process for the patient. In 2013 in order to provide our patients with a better standard of care we implemented a simple telephone clinic system in order to identify any change in their medical condition or device parameters.
