Increasing Nurse Productivity and Enhancing Heart Failure Outcomes with Spritely Remote Patient Monitoring

• Rapid up-titration of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) is now achievable and scalable with Spritely’s nurse-led remote care.
• Patients achieve target dose in 6-8 weeks compared to the historical average of 6-8 months.

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.

‍

Evidence-based guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is proven to significantly reduce mortality and improve quality of life. Implementation of these therapies lags behind clinical recommendations, due to the complexity of medication titration and workforce constraints having an impact on care coordination.

‍

Rapid up-titration of GDMT, when safely and systematically performed, leads to earlier clinical benefit, reduced hospitalizations, and improved patient outcomes. Nurse-led titration protocols using Spritely, make it possible to deliver optimal GDMT at a scale that is game changing for heart function services in NZ.

‍

Spritely is an equity-led remote patient monitoring (RPM) platform that enables nurses to efficiently manage medication titration through automated workflows, real-time monitoring, and patient engagement tools. Health NZ data proves that when specialist cardiology nurses use Spritely they can complete GDMT faster and safer. The key benefits are:

‍

1. Efficiency and Safety: Spritely provides protocol-based support that ensures safe and timely titration, reducing variability and minimizing adverse events.
2. calability: Nurse-led models supported by Spritely allow heart failure clinics to scale GDMT optimization without requiring additional specialist visits.
3. Patient Engagement: Bluetooth medical devices are permanently connected for ease of use, with symptom tracking and reminders. The pre-provisioned kit keeps patients engaged and adherent to their care plan.
4. Faster Titration, Better Outcomes: Early data suggest that structured titration using Spritely helps patients achieve target doses in a quarter of the time, contributing to improved left ventricular function and reduced readmissions.

‍

By combining clinical best practices with digital innovation, Spritely empowers nursing teams to deliver high-quality, proactive heart failure care.

Summary – Doing more with less

‍

Rapid up-titration of GDMT in the community is now feasible and sustainable, setting a new standard for managing this complex condition and significantly reducing the cost of managing each patient. Heart failure nurses are now more productive and the heart failure services they operate can provide care to more people each year.
