Key result
A discharge education bundle for patients with heart failure was implemented at two community hospitals using implementation science concepts to aim at decreasing readmissions.
Why the study?
Implementation science facilitates the sustainment of evidence-based practice to decrease readmissions and improve patient functioning and satisfaction in heart failure.
This article describes the application of implementation science to deploy a discharge education bundle for heart failure patients aimed at reducing readmissions and improving satisfaction.
IS-guided nurse-led HF discharge bundle is feasible in community hospitals; leaves open effects on readmissions and outcomes.
The emerging field of implementation science (IS) facilitates the sustainment of evidence-based practice in clinical care. This article, the fourth in a series on applying IS, describes how a nurse-led team at a multisite health system used IS concepts, methods, and tools to implement a discharge education bundle for patients with heart failure at two community hospitals, with the aim of decreasing readmissions and improving patient functioning and satisfaction.
