Résumé
Nurses play a key role in promoting successful transitions of patients with heart failure (HF) from the hospital to the ambulatory setting. Engaging patients and caregivers in discharge teaching early in the hospitalization can enhance their understanding of HF as a clinical syndrome and identify precipitants of decompensation. Effective transitional care interventions for patient with HF include a phone call within 48 to 72 hours and a follow-up appointment within 7 days. Early symptom identification and treatment are key aspects of HF care to improve quality of life and minimize risk of hospitalization.
