With help from the American Heart Association, JCMC created this education guide to prevent readmissions by helping congestive heart failure patients understand their condition and post-discharge instructions. The guide, “Living with Congestive Heart Failure: A Guide to a Healthy Heart,” includes a weight chart and medication chart, among other tools, to help patients monitor their health post-discharge.
Download the English and Spanish versions of the heart failure discharge guide for use in your own facility.
