A Cost Analysis of a Remote Home Support Programme for Infants with Major Congenital Heart Disease: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial

Objective: Paediatric cardiology is a highly centralised subspecialty with patients living often living large distances from the tertiary care centre. A tele homecare programme for infants with major congenital heart disease (CHD) was devised to support patients and families during the stressful and vulnerable period following discharge from hospital. This study aimed to describe the costs and potential savings of a telemedicine home support programme for infants with major congenital heart disease (CHD).
