Key result
Teaching hospitals show variable HF readmission interventions despite 94% cardiologist participation in multidisciplinary rounds.
Cross-Sectional (n=19)
Yes
Teaching hospitals have implemented a wide range of interventions to reduce heart failure readmissions, but there is substantial variability in their types, stages, and structure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Variability in heart failure readmission interventions across hospitals warrants caution in adoption; leaves open which strategies most effectively reduce readmissions.
Vasilevskis et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart Failure (n=19). Heart failure readmission reduction interventions was evaluated. A survey of 16 U.S. teaching hospitals revealed variability in the implementation of interventions to reduce heart failure readmissions, with cardiologists participating in multidisciplinary rounds at 94% of hospitals.
