Abstract
Heart failure (HF) readmissions are incredibly burdensome to hospitals across the country. In 2020, approximately $563 million in penalties from the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) were assigned based on higher than average admission rates (Allen, 2019) with a significant portion related to HF. Our facility has consistently had readmission rates higher than the CMS national benchmark. This is both detrimental to our patients and the cause of assessed yearly CMS reimbursement penalties, which significantly impacts payment for care delivered. There has historically been a very incomplete and disjointed care transition post-discharge for our HF population.
