Completed Projects
Multidisciplinary Case Management
and Home
Based Exercise in Congestive Heart Failure:
Improving Functional Status and Preventing Rehospitalization
Specific Aims/Objectives:
to demonstrate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary
chronic disease management program (CDMP) run out of
a community hospital at improving functional status,
improving quality of life, and preventing rehospitalization
in patients with CHF
to use the resources of the PRC to expand the successful
pilot program in chronic disease management at Griffin
Hospital
to compare the effectiveness of the CDMP program alone
to the CDMP program plus supervised, home-based exercise
with regard to: hospitalization rate; functional status;
quality of life; costs of care; and survival.
Current Status:
This study has been approved by the Human
Investigation Committee at Yale University and by the
Institutional Review Board at Griffin Hospital. The
study has been deferred until sufficient funds are available
to begin recruitment.
