Effectiveness of a nurse practitioner-led collaborative health care model on self-care, functional status, rehospitalization and medical costs in heart failure patients: A randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Heart failure is a serious and common condition that has garnered significant attention in the global public health domain. It often results in impaired function and reduced cardiac function status, leading to difficulties in self-care and diminished quality of life. To effectively address these complex challenges, the collaborative health care model has been proposed. This approach has proven effective in reducing rehospitalization and lowering medical costs.
