  3. Why do we need telehealthcare service? • Top 5 high cost diseases: • Dialysis, Dentistry, Cold/Flu, High blood pressure, Diabetes • 4 billion US dollar annually • 1/3 of Taiwan National Health Insurance Expenditure • Average hospital visit (2008) : 15 times/year (population: 23 M)

  4. Between January 2004 and December 2004, chronic heart failure patients who were followed up by specialist nurse-led telephone visiting regularly were enrolled. Clinical and financial data half a year before enrollment were collected as control. A total of 247 patients (168 males, 79 females; mean age, 60 ± 17 years) were enrolled.
