IntroductionHeart Failure disease management clinics have been historically successful in reducing complications, but little has been done in uninsured settings. MethodsThis is a pilot program for uninsured HF patients following a recent hospitalization. Uninsured patients were offered enrollment in the disease management clinic during or immediately following hospitalization for a primary HF diagnosis at our institution during 2021. The program included twice-weekly visits with interprofessional support. Patients were scheduled 16 visits (2 months of follow-up) post-hospitalization. Patients who attended two visits were considered enrolled. ResultsOf 59 patients referred, 47(80%) were enrolled. Just four patients (8.5%,95%CI:2.5%,20.5%) were readmitted at 30 days, while four of twelve (33%,95%CI:13.6%,61.2%) were readmitted at 30 days in those who did not enroll. Program participants were readmitted significantly less frequently than national readmission rate estimates (23%,p=0.02). ConclusionThe CHFC3 program is feasible and holds promise for materially reducing 30-day readmissions for HF complications in the uninsured.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
