Sponsor's own description

This study evaluates the impact of a new education-based intervention on outcomes in un- and under-insured Heart Failure (HF) patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) for care. Intervention patients will receive personalized education regarding their condition, pre- and post-testing of their HF knowledge base, and ED standard of care during the enrollment (index) visit. Patients will then be contacted via telephone 30 days post-index visit for re-testing and reinforcement of previously learned material. Patients in the control group will receive ED standard of care.
