Brief Summary

This study looks at whether a special program called the Heart Failure Therapeutic Education Unit (UTIC) helps reduce hospital stays for people with heart failure. It is a retrospective study, which means we are looking back at the records of patients who were followed at the UTIC in 2023 and 2024. We want to find out two things: If patients who followed the UTIC program were hospitalized less often. If the advice they received-especially about diet-helped improve their condition. Only adult patients who were treated at the UTIC are included in the study. We will not use data from patients who are under 18, were not treated in UTIC, or did not give permission to use their information. The study takes place over two weeks, from March 24 to April 6, 2025.

• Patients followed in the Heart Failure Therapeutic Education Unit (UTIC) at the General Hospital (CHG)
• Follow-up occurred during the years 2023 or 2024
