Abstract
Heart failure is a progressive disease with cyclical patterns of symptom exacerbation that necessitate frequent hospitalization, and often hospital readmission within 30-days of discharge. Financial incentives imposed by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have shifted the management of heart failure to the primary care setting. Telehealth interventions have emerged as cost effective methods to safely manage chronic disease in the outpatient setting. The purpose of this evidence-based practice (EBP) project is to evaluate the impact of a heart failure-specific smartphone application on heart failure-related 30-day readmission rates and participant self-care measures.
