Abstract
Heart failure is a public health problem that continues to increase health care costs in the United States and is the leading cause of readmissions among Medicare beneficiaries. In the U. S., approximately 25% of patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF) return within 30 days of initial discharge, despite the advances in the quality of acute and chronic HF disease management. As is true among many healthcare organizations, in southeast Mississippi, one of its most prominent healthcare entities was and is also experiencing the burden of increased health care costs associated with the 30-day readmission rate of persons diagnosed with heart failure. In 2017–2018, the organization’s readmission rate for persons diagnosed with HF was 39.5%, approximately 17.8% higher than the national and regional readmission rates reported by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
