Heart Failure Medication Adherence Study
The objective of this investigation is to pilot test a medication in-hand intervention (Meds
to Beds) compared to standard care for patients with heart failure (ICD-50[all numbers]). The
study will evaluate if the intervention improves adherence and physical health, and reduces
hospital re-admissions. The study will provide evidence for the feasibility and acceptability
of the medication-in-hand intervention.
