Transition of Care in Patients with Heart Failure
Heart failure (HF) affects 6 million Americans, has an expected increasing prevalence in the next 20 years, and has a 5-year mortality rate of 50%.

Brian Heart failure (HF) affects 6 million Americans, has an expected increasing prevalence in the next 20 years, and has a 5-year mortality rate of 50%. It represents the number one reason for hospitalization in patients older than 65 years. Recent legislation has increased the accountability of care of patients with HF, specifically readmission rates for HF in less than 30 days. This increased focus on HF readmission rates has led many health care organizations to reassess transition-of-care issues (i.e., from home to hospital, from hospital to home) and possible interventions to positively impact these readmission rates. During this process, home health care providers play an integral role and should be aware of possible issues to ensure optimum care for patients. 2014-02-01T08:00:00Z text https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/6875 https://doi.org/10.1177%2F1084822313499774 ETSU Faculty Works Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University heart failure pharmacotherapy admission discharge home health transitional care Family Medicine Pharmacy Practice Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences |
