Clinical Trial Summary

Objectives: To demonstrate the efficacy of care transition holistic intervention (Multilevel Guided Discharge Planning, MGDP) in reducing 30-day adverse outcomes among frail older patients with acute heart failure (AHF) discharged from Emergency Departments (EDs) and to validate the results of MGDP in real life.

Method: Investigators will select frail patients ≥70 years with primary diagnosis of AHF discharged from EDs. The intervention will consist of MGDP implementation: 1) checklist that includes clinical recommendations and resources activations; 2) scheduling of early visit with the specialist; 3) communication with primary care; 4) providing a written instruction sheet to patient or caregiver. Phase 1: matched-pair cluster randomized clinical trial. EDs were randomly allocated to intervention (n = 10) or control (n = 10) group. Investigators will compare the outcomes between intervention and control groups. Phase 2: a quasi-experimental study. The 20 EDs will carry out the intervention. Investigators will compare the outcomes between phase 1 and phase 2 of intervention group and between phase 1 and phase 2 of control group. The main outcome is a 30-day composite endpoint (ED revisit or hospital admission for AHF and cardiovascular death) after being discharged.
