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
.
