Evaluation of a Skilled Nursing Facility Heart Failure Disease Management Program Versus Usual Care
Heart Failure (HF) patients discharged to Skilled Nursing Facilities have higher
rehospitalization rates and mortality than patients discharged to home.

This study will investigate the the effect of a heart failure-disease management program on
the outcome of all-cause hospital readmissions, emergency room admissions and mortality for
30 days post-SNF admission using 7 component heart failure disease management program.
