ABSTRACT
Hospitalizations for acute heart failure (HF) and subsequent readmissions have received increased attention because of the burden they place on patients, providers, and the health care system. These hospitalizations represent a significant portion of the total cost of HF care and health care in general. Although much of the care of the patient with HF occurs outside of the hospital, the genesis of the programs that attempt to limit repeat hospitalizations begin in the impatient setting. By using evidence-based guidelines, interdisciplinary teams, and comprehensive discharge planning, costly readmissions can be reduced and outcomes improved.
