Abstract

There are no published medication possession interventions for heart failure patients at hospital discharge. This randomized control trial will pilot test Meds to Beds, in which medications are delivered before discharge. Results will indicate whether receiving medications at the hospital improves adherence and health outcomes among heart failure patients.
