Abstract 258: Impact of Community Health Workers in Management of Heart Failure: A Pilot Study [Session Title: Poster Session PM]

Conclusions: This pilot study suggests that CHW may reduce healthcare utilization for patients with heart failure without negatively impacting mortality. Based on these findings, a larger study is warranted to assess the efficacy and cost-efficiency of CHWs in helping to manage patients with heart failure.
