Abstract

Each year in the United States, 15-20% of 1 million visits to the Emergency Department for Acute Heart Failure result in direct home discharge, with patients often experiencing adverse health outcomes within 30 days after discharge. The multi-centered dissemination and implementation study, “Get With the Guidelines in Emergency Department Patients With Heart Failure” (GUIDED-HF), utilized ‘Self-Care Coaches’ who reach out to participants via telehealth calls to discuss potential improvements in their self-care maintenance after discharge as a strategy to mitigate adverse health outcomes; and offer provisions of resources, including a cookbook, “Don’t Pass the Salt!”, created by the American Association for Heart Failure Nurses (AAHFN). The objective of this research is to investigate if the target population in Portland or Hillsboro can afford an HF-friendly diet on the monthly SNAP income.
