Reduce Heart Failure Readmissions

A recent heart failure readmissions study at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital, presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 61st Annual Scientific Session, revealed that a simple, 27-question discharge checklist can dramatically reduce 30-day readmission rates—from 20% down to just 2%.

 This comprehensive checklist is structured into three essential components:
heart failure cover
  • Medications and appropriate dose modification;
  • Counseling and monitoring intervention; and
  • Follow-up instructions.

Each section is rooted in evidence-based practices designed to optimize heart failure management. According to Dr. Abhijeet Basoor, MD, who led the study and developed the checklist, the average heart failure patient needs around 12 to 15 of these targeted interventions to significantly lower their risk of another cardiac event.
