The Care Manager is the ‘coordinator’ of the 'Heart Failure Management Plan' and ‘Medical Anticipatory Care Plan’. These plans were defined by the Healthcare professionals and accepted by the patient. The care manager will oversee the plan and ensure that the different ‘Actors’ involved are communicated with and that care is followed up at the premises of the patient or at the acute or care ward.

Possible issues: 

XDR enables sending a “push” alert to another party. This may be realised with XDR (which is a web service-based solution), or, within an XDS affinity domain, with either DSUB or NAV.
