Summary

This trial will study whether an intervention can help home health aides better care for adults with heart failure, and improve the patient's overall health.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for home health aides with at least one year of experience, working at VNS Health Partners in Care, who speak English or Spanish and are caring for adults diagnosed with heart failure.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether a virtual training course and a mobile health (mHealth) app can boost the knowledge and confidence of home health aides in treating heart failure patients, potentially reducing emergency visits and hospital readmissions.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience increased workload or stress due to additional learning requirements.
