Main Findings : The results indicate that an intervention involving any human factor principles may nearly double an individual ’s probability of not being readmitted .
Principal Conclusions : Interventions with human factor principles reduce readmissions among HF patients .
Background : Human factors play an important role in health-care outcomes of heart failure ( HF ) patients .
A systematic review and meta- analysis of clinical trial studies on HF hospitalization may yield positive proofs of the beneficial effect of specific care management strategies .
Purpose : To investigate how the 8 guiding principles of choice , rest , environment , activity , trust , interpersonal relationships , outlook , and nutrition reduce HF readmissions .
The effects of an advanced practice nurse led telephone intervention on outcomes of patients with heart failure.
This study sought to determine the effect of an advanced- practice -nurse (APN)-led telephone intervention on hospital readmissions , quality of life , and self-care behaviors ( SCBs ) of patients with heart failure ( HF ) . Twenty participants were r and omly assigned to either an experimental group that received the APN-led telephone intervention ( ALTI ) or a control group that received usual care in this pretest-posttest experimental study . The results of this study support the idea that an ALTI positively impacts outcomes of patient with HF  , particularly by improving SCBs and decreasing hospital readmissions . An ALTI warrants consideration to improve outcomes of patients with HF
