Postcards to Improve Remote Monitoring Adherence Among Veterans

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

We tested the effect of informational postcards on improving remote monitoring adherence among Veterans with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in a stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial.

Clinical Trial Description

Objective: To test the effect of informational postcards on remote monitoring adherence among Veterans with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Design/Patients: Stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial among Veterans with pacemakers and ICDs. Intervention: In wave 1, Veterans who had sent at least 1 transmission within the past 2 years but had become non-adherent were randomly assigned to receive a postcard or no postcard. Those receiving postcards were randomized to 1 of 2 messages: 1) a "warning" postcard describing risks of non-adherence or 2) an "encouraging" postcard describing benefits of adherence. In wave 2, Veterans who had either not received a postcard in wave 1 or had since become non-adherent were mailed a postcard (again, randomized to 1 of 2 messages). Patients who did not send a remote monitoring transmission within 1 month were mailed a second, identical postcard. Main Measures: Proportion of patients who sent a transmission within 70 days. ;
