Abstract
Providing high-quality heart failure education through smartphone applications (apps) empowers patients to more successfully manage their disease process outside the hospital setting. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the addition of nurse navigators to increase engagement of newly-diagnosed heart failure patients with the GetWell Loop (GWL) technology program that assists patient learning and monitoring for self-care. Adding navigators increased patient engagement with the GWL over the use of the GWL without navigators.
