Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Despite advances in the treatment of heart failure, patient optimization remains a challenge for health care providers. The purpose of this project was to Reduce 30 - day hospital readmission rate for Heart Failure (HF) by implementing a comprehensive self-care program for patients and families. This Project was guided by the Transitional Care Model (Naylor 2017) and was implemented on a Telemetry unit in an acute care setting. The project design was a quality improvement project of all patients admitted to this unit with a diagnosis of HF. The implementation of an Evidence Based HF program demonstrated improvement in self- care when patients were provided adequate education and resources. The multidisciplinary team approach reduced gaps in care, provided better coordination and transition of care, thus leading to a decrease in readmission rates.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation to be awarded contact hours AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes. No partial credit will be awarded.
