Interactive Voice Response System
Participants using IVR will receive training in peer communication techniques and participate in an initial nurse-led interactive group visit. They will then be asked to communicate at least weekly with their partner using the IVR system. The IVR system will also automatically send reminder calls to participants and allow them to leave voice mail messages for their partner and their care manager.
Nurse-Led Group Clinic Visits
At Months 1, 3, and 6, participants will take part in group visits led by nurses to discuss HF self-management strategies.
