ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new program designed to support patients with heart failure by providing them with guidance and monitoring after they leave the hospital. The program includes an educational meeting before discharge, regular phone coaching sessions with a nurse, and home monitoring of important health signs like heart rate and blood pressure. The main goals are to see if this support helps patients stick to their care plan, how satisfied they are with the program, and whether the methods used for collecting health information are effective. Researchers will compare the results from participants in this program to those who do not receive it to find out if it helps reduce hospital visits and improve self-care.

To participate in this trial, you must be 65 years or older and have been hospitalized for heart-related issues. It's important that you're expected to go home after your hospital stay. Unfortunately, if you have difficulty understanding or managing your health without help, or if you're receiving other medical services that could conflict with this program, you may not be eligible. If you join, you can expect to receive personalized support from a nurse, which could help improve your health and confidence in managing your heart condition.
