Brief Summary
This study evaluates the impact of a new education-based intervention on outcomes in un- and under-insured Heart Failure (HF) patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) for care. Intervention patients will receive personalized education regarding their condition, pre- and post-testing of their HF knowledge base, and ED standard of care during the enrollment (index) visit. Patients will then be contacted via telephone 30 days post-index visit for re-testing and reinforcement of previously learned material. Patients in the control group will receive ED standard of care.

Intervention
EXPERIMENTALIntervention patients will receive personalized education regarding their condition, pre- and post-testing of their HF knowledge base, and ED standard of care during the enrollment (index) visit. Patients will then be contacted via telephone 30 days post-index visit for re-testing and reinforcement of previously learned material.
Control
NO INTERVENTIONControl patients will receive ED standard of care.
Interventions
Standardized information on the etiology of HF, mechanisms and side effects of medications prescribed, strategies for minimizing exacerbations, and warning signs of worsening clinical status will be discussed with the patient.
