Brief Summary

With improve care of patients with heart failure, many patients are living longer. Care for these patients is now not only focused on mortality but also on the quality of life. Patient knowledge about heart failure and their overall compliance with the necessary lifestyle changes will lead to an improved quality of life. Discovering alternative ways to improve patient knowledge is key to long term survival. This studies objective is to assess the overall impact of video discharge instructions as compared to paper discharge instructions on Heart Failure Knowledge among an under-served patient population.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Heart Failure Knowledge Score

  Participants knowledge about heart failure will be assessed using the validated Atlanta Heart Failure Knowledge Test(AHFKT- V3). This is a test which includes 30 questions with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 30. Each Participant will take the test and will subsequently be given either paper discharge instructions or both video and paper discharge instructions. After reading and/or watching the discharge instructions, each participant will take the same test once again. The difference in the pre and post intervention scores will be calculated and the investigators will assess if there is a significant difference in the mean change in score the control(Paper) vs. Intervention groups(Video).
