Home Health Nursing: How to Prevent Heart Failure Rehospitalizations with Online Training

Heart failure (HF) is a common diagnosis among home care patients. It has a high risk for hospital readmission due to disease exacerbation, yet many readmissions are preventable.

Home care clinicians play a crucial role in helping prevent rehospitalizations in HF patients, but incoming nurses often don’t have the training they need to properly manage this condition. As a result, more agencies are turning to online training as an efficient, effective way to give staff the critical information they need to better manage patients with chronic conditions such as HF.
