Behavioral factors, such as poor compliance with treatment, frequently contribute to exacerbations of heart failure, a fact suggesting that many admissions could be prevented. METHODS We conducted a prospective, randomized trial of the effect of a nurse-directed, multidisciplina...
متن کاملEffects of a home-based intervention among patients with congestive heart failure discharged from acute hospital care.
BACKGROUND We examined the effect of a home-based intervention (HBI) on readmission and death among "high-risk" patients with congestive heart failure discharged home from acute hospital care. METHODS Hospitalized patients with congestive heart failure and impaired systolic function, intolerance to exercise, and a history of 1 or more hospital admissions for acute heart failure were randomize...
متن کاملImpact of Congestive Heart Failure Discharge Planning on Congestive Heart Failure Re-Admission Rates
Background: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is the most common diagnosis accounting for more healthcare costs than any diagnosis. CHF readmissions contribute significantly to this expenditure. Quality of care in heart failure is linked to process based performance measures. This study evaluated the relationship between adherence to performance metrics and 30 day readmission rates. Methods: This ...
متن کاملProlonged beneficial effects of a home-based intervention on unplanned readmissions and mortality among patients with congestive heart failure.
BACKGROUND A single home-based intervention (HBI) applied immediately after hospital discharge in a cohort of "high-risk" patients with congestive heart failure has been shown to decrease numbers of unplanned readmissions plus out-of-hospital deaths during a period of 6 months. The duration of this beneficial effect remains uncertain. METHODS Hospitalized patients with congestive heart failur...
