Integrated case management significantly reduces readmissions compared to treatment as usual in patients with concomitant heart failure and diabetes.
McCants et al. (2019) conducted an observational in diabetes and concomitant heart failure (n=68). Integrated case management services vs. Treatment as usual (TAU) was evaluated on Readmission (p=.012). Integrated case management services significantly reduced readmission compared to treatment as usual (18.4% vs 52.6%, p=0.012) in patients with heart failure and diabetes.
