The practice concern identified is the increased hospital readmission rates in patients with heart failure. Hospital readmission is of significant concern as they impact the cost and patient outcomes negatively. For patients with heart failure, persistent 30-day readmission rates is a great concern. Evidence has reported that about 20% of the patients are readmitted with the 30-days of discharge while approximately 50% of the patients are readmitted within 6 months of discharge (O’Connor, 2017).Click link below to purchase full tutorial at $10
