Impact of a transitional care program for heart failure patients at Baylor Scott & amp; White Health: a pilot study

This study describes the small, pilot implementation of a new, interventional, self-management heart failure program, "Engagement in Heart Failure Care" (EHFC), developed to assist heart failure patients with the management of disease symptoms following discharge from an inpatient hospital stay. EHFC was designed to engage patients in managing their symptoms and coaching them in skills that enable them to access medical and supportive care services across community, clinic, and hospital settings to help address both their current and future needs. The results of this pilot study suggest that EHFC's coaching model may have positive benefits on key health and well-being indicators of the patients enrolled.PMID:38343456 | PMC:PMC10857436 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2023.2299206
