Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Self-management
Self-care of Heart Failure Index
7 Days
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Readmission
7 and 30 days post discharge
Study Arms (1)
Guideline based care
Prior to discharge. Survey data will include descriptive characteristics, depression, heart failure knowledge. After patient education is complete prior to discharge patients will complete a readiness for discharge scale and heart failure self-care survey. Phone call 48 hours after discharge. Discharge instructions will be reinforced. Phone call 7 days after discharge. Survey data will include self management, complications, and satisfaction care. Secondary data 30 days post discharge. The hospital electronic medical record system will be queried to determine if the patient has been readmitted within 30 days of discharge for heart failure or non-heart failure causes.
Interventions
Patient education using guideline based teaching guides
