3 Introduction Approximately one in every five patients admitted with heart failure return to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. 1 The national average 30-day readmission rate for heart failure is 21.9%. 1 The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) began the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) in 2012 with the goal of improving patient care Readmissions and Deaths: National. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Published December 18, Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP). Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
4 Introduction Increased utilization adds strain to the healthcare system and increases costs incurred by patients. Heart failure costs the nation an estimated $30.7 billion each year. This total includes the cost of healthcare services, medications to treat heart failure, and missed days of work. 3 Circulation. 2011;123(8):
5 Background Bristol Regional Medical Center and Holston Valley Medical Center are two community teaching hospitals within Wellmont Health System that were experiencing a high heart failure readmission rate. Both hospitals service populations in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. The readmissions committees at Wellmont Health System determined the reasons for an increased heart failure readmission rate were multifactorial.
6 Background The committees identified focus areas which included the need for improving education and providing better follow-up post discharge. The Re-engineered Discharge Project (Project RED) utilized discharge and education services conducted by a nurse discharge advocate; which resulted in a statistically significant reduction in emergency department (ED) and hospital utilization within 30 days. 4 The committees decided to utilize the concept introduced by Project RED and initiated a heart failure nursing navigator program. Ann Intern Med. 2009; 150(3):
7 Objective Determine the impact of a heart failure nursing navigator program on heart failure readmission rates
8 Methods Multicenter, nonrandomized retrospective, observational study IRB approved Timeframe: November December 2016
9 Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria Inclusion Criteria: Inpatients > 18 years of age Diagnosis of congestive heart failure, diastolic heart dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, decreased ejection fraction, or a history of congestive heart failure with no prior education documented Exclusion Criteria: Pregnancy Patients enrolled in the Cardiovascular Associates Heart Failure Clinic Patients discharged to locations other than home
10 Heart Failure Navigator Process Initial Visit Meets with patient/caregiver to explain navigator program Provides initial comprehensive heart failure education Daily Visits Utilizes teach-back method to determine comprehension Provides additional education Assesses barriers to discharge Discharge Education Ensures follow-up appointment is made within seven days of hospital discharge Ensures the patient is discharged on appropriate therapy Reviews discharge instructions and medication instructions Follow-Up Phone Calls The purpose is to check on the patient to see how they are doing post discharge and to determine if the patient has any questions related to their treatment Day 2, Day 7, Day 16, and Day 23
11 Patient Education Heart failure disease process and self-care Heart failure zones Medications used to treat heart failure The role of sodium and fluids worsening heart failure Sleep apnea Oxygen therapy
12 Patient Education Other chronic conditions and heart failure Heart rhythm problems Cardiac rehabilitation Advanced care planning Dietary action plan Smoking cessation Importance of daily weights
13 Results
14 Results Total Patients Enrolled Total Patients Readmitted Overall Heart Failure Navigator Patient Readmission Rate 1, %
15 Conclusions The heart failure navigator program has resulted in a low readmission rate. Due to the success of the heart failure navigator program, Wellmont Health System has implemented navigator programs for other diagnoses : chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, and cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft.
