Summary

The National University Hospital System has designed and is piloting an improved post-discharge care programme called CareHub for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. CareHub is a post-discharge care programme that is designed to streamline and better coordinate current programmes for patients at high risk of readmission.

To assess the clinical and cost-effectiveness of CareHub, our team will randomly assign patients to a usual care setting or CareHub setting, and measure clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, readmissions, and length of stay through 6 months post-discharge in both groups.Patients enrolled in both groups will receive post-discharge care for six months after discharge. CareHub patients will receive a single point of contact for access to usual care services. Recruitment for this pilot will be from 20 April 2016 - approximately late October 2016, and the CareHub team will provide 6 months of post-discharge support. The entire pilot will thus run from 20 April 2016 - April / May 2017, with data collection extending 6 months after the last patient is enrolled.
