Congestive Heart Failure Readmission Visibility Dashboard

Approx. 5.1 million people in the U.S. have HF annually

• 2013 estimated total cost of HF at least $32 billion
• HF is the most expensive of the Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG)
• HF is the most frequent diagnosis for 30-day readmissions

Visibility through CHF specific dashboard’s has proven to be the most effective and efficient tool for identifying patients admitted for HF. CHF dashboards facilitate patient contact prior to hospital discharge and increase the chance that a patient is engaged in preventative education at the bedside or contacted immediately after hospital discharge to provide post care best practices.
