The project recommends consistent implementation, at home, of an interdisciplinary team, use of a standardized tool to assess re-hospitalization risk and regular use of the Teach Back method for patient and caregiver education (AHRQ, 2015). These strategies should be part of the standard outpatient intervention.en-USTransitional Care InterventionsTCIGeriatric Patients with Heart FailureHome healthTransitional Care InterventionsTCIGeriatric Patients with Heart FailureHome health carePresentation
