Home heart care cuts hospital stays for seriously ill patients
NCT ID NCT03724695
Summary
This study tested whether a home-based program combining heart failure management and palliative care could improve care for seriously ill heart failure patients. Researchers compared two approaches: doctors either had to actively choose to refer patients to the program (usual care) or were gently prompted to consider it. The goal was to see if this home care approach reduced hospital days, emergency visits, and costs while helping more patients transition to hospice care when needed.
