AU - for the Israel Heart Failure Disease Management Study (IHF-DMS) investigators PY - 2017 DA - 2017/05/01 TI - Disease management in the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure who have universal access to health care: a randomized controlled trial JO - BMC Medicine SP - 90 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - The efficacy of disease management programs in improving the outcome of heart failure patients remains uncertain and may vary across health systems. This study explores whether a countrywide disease management program is superior to usual care in reducing adverse health outcomes and improving well-being among community-dwelling adult patients with moderate-to-severe chronic heart failure who have universal access to advanced health-care services and technologies.
