NCT ID NCT03942978
Summary
This hospital quality improvement project aimed to provide better, more equitable care for heart failure patients admitted to the general medicine service.

The goal was to reduce hospital readmissions and improve outcomes, particularly for Black and Latino patients who were less likely to receive specialty heart care.
