for the patients with heart failure. However, there are limited strategies that exists in reducing the
readmission of patients with such problem. The main purpose of the author was to identify the
hospital strategies that were related with lower readmission rates for the patients with heart

in the initiative for the national quality that was made to reduce the number of readmission,

author came up with inference that there were various strategies that were related to lower

challenges so as to provide data on where the national hospital should intervene so as to reduce
