Title: Predictors of Unplanned 30-day Readmission in Patients with Heart Failure for Use in Development of a Locally Relevant Risk Assessment Tool
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Christopher Stewart, Public Health/Physician Assistant

This study was conducted to identify risk factors associated with hospital readmission for patients with heart failure. Study results aided in development of a readmission assessment tool. Identification of high-risk patients may enable providers to improve discharge and transition of care planning to avoid readmission.
