Paramedics at your door: new program aims to keep heart patients out of the hospital
NCT ID NCT04662541
Summary
This study tested two ways to help heart failure patients recover at home after a hospital stay. One group got a follow-up phone call from a care coordinator. The other group had access to a community paramedic who could visit their home and connect them to a doctor by video. Researchers wanted to see which approach helped patients stay out of the hospital and feel better in the first 30 days after going home.
