Abstract

Congestive heart failure attracts quality initiatives to address its high prevalence and massive impacts. It is a major global public health problem and burden on healthcare systems, especially in developing countries, and the most common cause of hospitalization and readmission among older patients, especially 30-day readmission. This article will share achievement in reducing CHF readmission rate and address and discuss interventions to improve patient quality of life and reduce re-hospitalization.
