Decreasing Congestive Heart Failure Readmission with Telemonitoring

Direct congestive heart failure costs are expected to rise from 21 billion dollars in 2012 to an estimated 53 billion dollars in 2030. There is a 20% lifetime risk of developing congestive heart failure with a five-year mortality rate higher than many cancers (McTernan, et al., 2016). This poster provides information about using CHF app, EBP guidelines, and multidisciplinary care to reduce mortality and readmission rates, and improve quality of life.
