A study of the relationship between home care services and hospital readmission of patients with congestive heart failure.
Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) constitute a substantial portion of the caseloads of home care agencies. Home care is one strategy suggested for delaying or preventing hospital readmissions. ⋯ It also described the home nursing care of such patients. Findings indicate that patients receiving home care nursing services were readmitted to the hospital significantly less often within a period of 90 days after hospital discharge.
