Heart failure is one of the top diagnoses involved with readmissions throughout the Great Plains and Lake Superior Quality Innovation Networks. This webinar is the second in a series of webinars to assist communities in this seven-state region improve heart failure care.

The clinical status of a heart failure patient is negatively impacted by non-adherence to the self-care demands of this disease. To address this problem we created a heart failure toolkit to assist patients with heart failure maintenance, management and confidence. This presentation will review how one idea for how to ensure safe transitions and reduce readmissions can grow into a program using data to drive the initiative forward. We will also discuss the use of common cause analysis to understand opportunities for improvement in the areas of readmission.

  • Understand a method to begin looking at your readmission problem
  • Better understand data to analyze as you progress with your initiative
  • Common cause analysis: how to use it to hone your readmission work
