Telemedicine Enabling Patients in Self-care Behaviors
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Study will utilize the Telemedicine group and the Standard Visit group (30 patients each group) to determine
Endpoints:
- Time of recognition, time of diagnosis and time of intervention for arrhythmia. These times will be noted for each patient in each group and look for any difference in these times based upon gaining information from telemedicine visits versus 6 month follow up visit.
- Three surveys of patient Self efficacy of medications, activity, and arrhythmia knowledge utilizing three surveys in each group. Surveys will be answered at the start of the study and end of the study by every patient within each group.
Surveys:
MUSE- Medication Understanding and Self Efficacy Tool Shortened FSES- Functioning self efficacy scale ASTA- Arrhythmia specific symptoms and health related quality of life in connection with heart rhythm disturbance

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Time of recognition of an arrhythmia
Time Frame: Up to 6 months
|
Patient recognition of a probable arrhythmia
|
Up to 6 months
|
Time of diagnosis of arrhythmia
Time Frame: Up to 6 months
|
Time of diagnosis of arrhythmia by medical staff- at what point is the diagnosis present.
|
Up to 6 months
|
Time to treatment initiation of arrhythmia
Time Frame: Up to 6 months
|
The time- what point in time is the treatment plan innitiated

Up to 6 months
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in self efficacy in medication use score as measured by the Medication Self Efficacy Tool (MUSE) survey
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months
|
MUSE is 7 items which are evaluated to identify if the patient has a good overall understanding and perception of their medicine.
|
Baseline, 6 months
|
Change in functioning self efficacy score as measured by the 13 Item Shortened Function Self-efficacy Scale (FSES)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months
|
The FSES is 13 questions with responses scored from 1 to 5 with a maximum score of 65.
Higher scores indicates higher level of functioning.
|
Baseline, 6 months
|
Change in self-efficacy of arrhythmia management score as measured by the Arrhythmia-Specific questionnaire in Tachycardia and Arrhythmias (ASTA) survey
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months
|
The ASTA questionnaire is divided into three separate parts.
|
Baseline, 6 months
