Barriers and Benefits of Telemonitoring for Heart Failure Christine O'Shaughnessy Aurora University NUR 3015 Deann Edgers February 27, 2013 Abstract In an effort to provide telemonitoring care to heart failure patients, care providers examine barriers and benefits to the adoption of the technology.

With the Affordable Care Act, if insurance rates go down, this will create microeconomics because individuals who cannot afford health care will get it and jobs will be created (Rosoff, 2011).
