Do nurse-led transitional care interventions reduce healthcare utilization in patients with heart failure?
Nurse-led transitional care interventions effectively reduce hospital readmissions and length of stay for heart failure patients, though they do not impact emergency department visits.
Nurse-led TCIs were effective in decreasing all-cause and HF-specific readmission risks, as well as in reducing the length of hospital stay; however, the interventions were not effective in reducing the frequency of emergency department visits.
Li et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
