No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a multidisciplinary team clinic including a clinical pharmacist, a registered nurse (RN), dietician and physician providing short-term sub-acute management of patients with heart failure on patient outcomes and the quality of medication use. Patients being discharged from the emergency department with a diagnosis of heart failure will be eligible for this study. We believe that emergency room visits, hospitalization and deaths secondary to heart failure will decrease secondary to this program.
