Background
Heart failure is the most common cause ofhospitalization among adults over 65. Over 60%of patients die within 10 years of first onset of
symptoms. Although interventions combiningpatient education and post-dischargemanagement have demonstrated benefits inpatients with chronic heart failure, the benefitattributable to patient education alone is notknown. We hypothesized that a patientdischarge education program would improveclinical outcomes in patients with chronic heartfailure.

Ethical Consideration
The study was performed at University ofMichigan Hospital. The study wasapproved by the Medical SchoolInstitutional ReviewBoard( http://www.med.umich.edu/irbmed/ ).

The Participants
Study subjects were recruited from theinpatient services of the hospital fromApril 2001 through October 2002.Candidates for this study were admittedto the hospital with a diagnosis of heartfailure and documented left ventricular systolic dysfunction

Interventions
Informed consent was obtained prior tothe study.Treatment assignment was concealed
from the patients and study personneluntil after the randomization step. Thecare providers for the patient in thehospital and in the outpatient arenawere not informed of the treatmentassignment.

Interventions
Standard written discharge informationwas delivered in a folder by the assignedward nurse at the time of discharge.As part of usual care, it is likely thatpatients received additional teachingfrom resident and staff physicians, nurses,
and dietitians, although this could not becontrolled or quantified. Follow-up after hospital discharge was left to thediscretion of the inpatient medical team.

Interventions
The patient education program includeda 60-minute-long, one-on-one teachingsession with a nurse educator beforedischarge. The nurse educator discussedheart failure specific information thatcovered the basic principles of thecauses of heart failure and rationale for pharmaceutical therapies.

Results
Baseline MLHF scores for control (5922) andeducation (5623) subjects were similar. At the 30-day follow-up time point, MLHF scores were lower (i.e., improved) in the education group (3822)compared with the control group (4525, P =0.049).There was no difference in MLHF scores at the 180-day follow-up period between control (4225) andeducation (4122) subjects. Changes in MLHF scoresfrom baseline to the 30-day follow-up period weresignificant for both control and education subjects.Changes in MLHF from baseline in control andeducation subjects at 30-day follow-up (1521 versus1825, P =NS) and at 180-day follow-up (1824 versus
1323,P
=NS) did not differ.

Results
The average cost for hospital readmission duringthe 180-day follow-up period was $829211 299 for control subjects versus $53699096 for education
subjects (P=0.034). The cost of the intervention isestimated to be $100 per subject (2 hours ofnursing time at $50 per hour). As a result, theoverall cost of care was higher in the controlgroup by $2823 (95% CI, $202 to $5644; P=0.035)per subject.

Discussion
Our results show that a patient-targeted heart failureeducation program delivered at hospital dischargeleads to a reduction in the number of dayshospitalized or dead in a 180-day follow-up period.The combined end point of re-hospitalization or deathwas reduced in the patients exposed to the educationintervention by 35% compared with controls. Thiscombined end point was influenced largely by a 51%reduction in the need to be re-hospitalized due toheart failure. This is the first demonstration that patient-targeted education delivered at the time of dischargeleads to improved clinical outcomes in patients with
systolic heart failure.

Limitations
1. Generality of the results.2. Absence of blinding of the nurse
coordinator to the treatmentassignment of the patients.3. Lack of reliability of self-reported
self-care measures.

Conclusion
In this study, patients hospitalized for the treatmentof heart failure who received targeted patienteducation delivered by a nurse educator were lesslikely to be re-hospitalized during a 180-day follow-up period. Patients exposed to the educationprogram were also more likely to report appropriate,disease-specific, self-care practices. These improvedoutcomes were achieved at a substantial andsignificant reduction in costs. This is the first study todemonstrate the clinical benefit of a heart failurepatient education program restricted to the hospitaldischarge time period. Patient education should beincluded in the optimal care of patients suffering
from heart failure.

Significance of the Study
Providing comprehensive discharge educationto patients with heart failure is essential toimproving outcomes, and cardiac nurses are ina position to take on the role of educators.Patients with heart failure should understandtheir condition, their medications, and when toseek medical treatment. As more is learnedabout the important effects of education andself- care on patients outcomes, the need tomove away from the traditional view of patientsas passive recipients of information is clear.Patients should be viewed as active partners in
the management of their health.
