Why the study?
Early detection of heart failure relies on community-based interventions supported by seamless coordination, but the challenges and opportunities in developing such support systems need examination.
Cross-Sectional (n=31)

Foundational heart failure education in a multidisciplinary community setting is effective and highly valued by non-medical professionals, highlighting the need to bridge knowledge gaps to support integrated care.
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. Methods and Results: A cross-sectional survey of 31 participants in a regional multidisciplinary meeting yielded 13 responses (41.9%). Non-medical professionals demonstrated lower baseline knowledge but higher satisfaction and learning effectiveness. Principal component analysis revealed occupational differences. Conclusions: Foundational education was effective, particularly for non-medical professionals, and highlighted the need to address disparities in knowledge and tool utilization.
