Background: Early detection of heart failure (HF) relies on community-based interventions supported by seamless coordination. In this study, we examined the challenges and opportunities in developing HF support system, drawing on hospital-led community collaboration activities and a participant survey.
Odate et al. (Wed,) conducted a cross-sectional in Participants involved in a hospital-led multidisciplinary regional collaboration for heart failure care, including medical and non-medical professionals connected to community HF care (n=31). Hospital-led community collaboration activities including educational session, case-sharing, and discussion was evaluated on Satisfaction and perceived learning effectiveness assessed by post-meeting questionnaire responses (p=0.03). Hospital-led foundational education improved HF knowledge, with non-medical professionals showing significantly lower baseline knowledge (P=0.03) but higher satisfaction and learning effectiveness after the program.
