Published guidelines recommend that patients being discharged home after hospitalization for HF should be offered a 7-day post-discharge outpatient clinic visit as a way to increase engagement with care and reduce risk of poor outcomes. Unfortunately no-show rates for the 7-day post-discharge outpatient visit in this population are high, suggesting poor engagement. The investigators have previously observed a 76% no-show rate at the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. This study is to evaluate whether use of 7-day post-discharge virtual visit versus in-person visit can improve adherence with post-discharge appointment.
