In October 2023, Harborview Medical Center launched an 18-month pilot called Community Heart Failure Program (CHFP). The program delivers trauma-informed care to heart failure patients with frequent hospital admissions who face barriers to care, such as stable housing. The goal of the program is to engage patients who do not participate in traditional ambulatory care in their community. The program aims to reduce barriers to care, reduce hospital admissions, and emergency department utilization. Initial program data showed an over 35% reduction in hospital admissions and an over 25% reduction in emergency department visits, demonstrating increased care for heart failure patients disengaged in care.
