Heart helper pilot
IN PROGRESS
Aim
To reduce avoidable acute care admissions related to heart failure.
About the project
Heart failure is a complex chronic condition. One in four patients with heart failure is readmitted to hospital within 30 days of being discharged.
In this Commonwealth-funded pilot project, we’re partnering with Victorian health services to co-design and test a service delivery model to help people with heart failure after a hospital admission. The project will focus on increasing patient self-management and better educating carers.
