Solution:

 1. What is the problem?
 

Congestive heart failure(CHF) is one of the growing healthcare burden as well as the cause of high hospitalization in the US. Approximately, 6.5 adults are living with heart failure with the number expected to soar to 8 million by 2030 (Savarese & Lund, 2017). The rate of re-hospitalization among the CHF patients is considered high in which 25 of the patients are readmitted within 30 days and 50 percent readmitted after six months (Park et al., 2019). This, therefore, increases the need to reduce the re-hospitalization rate among CHF patients.
