Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background Heart failure (HF) is a growing public health problem in the United States. Implantable cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices reduce mortality and morbidity; remote monitoring (RM) of these devices improves outcomes. However, patient RM adherence is low, due in part to lack of access to their RM data. Providing these data to patients may increase engagement, but they must be appropriately tailored to ensure understanding. Objective To examine patients’ experiences interacting with their RM data through a novel digital dashboard as part of daily life. Methods In this mixed methods pilot study, 10 patients with implantable CRT defibrillators were given access to a patient-centered RM data dashboard, updated daily for 6-12 months. Pre and post health literacy, engagement, electronic portal (MyChart®) logins, and RM adherence were measured; system usability scores were collected at exit; and dashboard views were tracked. Exit interviews were conducted to elucidate patients’ experiences. Results Participants (100% white, 60% male, ages 34-80 [mean=62.0, SD=13.4]) had adequate health literacy, increased MyChart logins (p = 0.0463), and non-significant increase in RM adherence. Participants viewed their dashboards 0-42 times (mean=14.9, SD=12.5). Interviews revealed participants generally appreciated access to their data, understood it, and responded to changes; however, there were remaining questions and concerns regarding data interpretation and visualization. Conclusion Preliminary findings support potential future integration of a CRT RM data dashboard in HF patients’ daily care. With appropriate informational support and personalization, sharing RM data with patients in a tailored dashboard may improve health engagement.
