The research methodology utilizes the author developed GH-Method: math-physical medicine (MPM) which has been applied for the past decade. This study contains a comparison and interpretation of the following two T2D patients. Case A: male, 47-years-old, 5 years of T2D history, with no signs of diabetes complications, BMI 40, and not taking any diabetes medication. Case B (author): male, 73-years-old, 25 years of T2D history, with many diabetes complications except stroke, BMI 25, and not taking any diabetes medication for the past 5 years.","PeriodicalId":152005,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiology Research Review & Reports","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129779349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Hospital Readmission Reduction Program (HRRP), a Medicaare based program, was established to link payment to quality of care. Payment is reduced to hospitals when patients are readmitted within 30 days for heart failure The “Heart Success Clinic” is an outpatient clinic started to improve patient outcomes and reduce readmission rates. Patients are provided with heart failure focused visits which includes detailed medication reviews, diet modification, weight loss, disease education, etc. During the six months prior to the opening of the clinic, the readmission rate was 15.27% at AdventHealth Sebring hospital which is a community-based hospital. Data was collected on the patients who attended the “Heart Success Clinic” for six months. Zero patients from the clinic were readmitted, bringing the readmission rate down from 15.27% to 0%. This pilot study gives promising initial results. Further studies can be conducted over a longer period time as to gather more patients. Overall, the study demonstrates that there is value in providing heart failure focused follow up visits in improving patient outcomes and readmission rates.","PeriodicalId":152005,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiology Research Review & Reports","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122224932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
