• The aim is to assess how nurse coordinators affect transitional care and patient outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
• Randomized trial assessing the role of nurse coordinators in transitional care
• Involvement of nurses in managing care pathways post-TAVI
• Evaluation of patient outcomes and satisfaction over a defined follow-up period
• Improved patient outcomes reported post-TAVI with nurse coordinator involvement, showing a 20% higher satisfaction rate (p<0.05)
• Reduction in hospital readmissions by 30% within 30 days post-procedure (95% CI 0.60-0.90)
• Enhanced continuity of care demonstrated by 25% increase in follow-up compliance (p<0.01)
