Title	Reducing heart failure readmissions though self-care education and tele-monitoring.
Subject	Patient education; Health facilities, Discharge planning; Patient Discharge.
Description	Heart failure readmissions are a growing problem, costing billions of dollars annually. Financial penalties and public reporting of readmissions rates within 30 days of discharge have healthcare organizations searching for innovative solutions to the problem. Inadequate education and follow up have led to an inability of heart failure patients to maintain a self-care regimen, which results in the need for readmissions. Evidence suggests that multidisciplinary education focusing on self-care and post discharge support utilizing tele-monitoring can reduce the need for readmissions. This paper proposes the implementation of such a program at a large, urban, acutecare facility in Phoenix, AZ. The proposed program would provide a multidisciplinary class and telephone follow up, with the goal of significantly reducing the readmission rate within six months. The success of the proposed program would be tracked by comparing the baseline readmission rate to that of participants and by surveying participants after completion of the program. The results would be reported by a poster presentation.
