Home-Time, Mortality, and Readmissions Among Patients Hospitalized With Heart Failure: A Baseline Prior to IMPLEMENT-HF

In this contemporary multicenter cohort, patients hospitalized with heart failure spent a median of 91.2% of their time in the year after discharge alive and at home, largely driven by high mortality rates. These findings serve as a preimplementation baseline for IMPLEMENT-HF, which will evaluate the impact of targeted heart failure initiatives on home-time and other clinical outcomes.
