At UC San Diego Health, our goal is to get patients home from the emergency department safely and as soon as possible. Two programs that help us do that were highlighted in San Diego Magazine. The UCSD at Home program offers some patients follow-up care in the comfort of their own home. The result has been reduced hospital readmissions and greater patient satisfaction. Our Mission Control Center improves patient flow through our system while at the same time enhancing the safety and efficiency of care. Read more about how these innovative solutions help seniors get care when and where they need it most at the link below.

What is heart failure? Heart failure is a condition in which the heart does not pump as much blood as the body needs. The term “failure” does not mean that the heart has stopped, only that it is not pumping blood effectively. Symptoms of heart failure include shortness of breath, fatigue, nausea and a persistent cough. Although there is no cure for heart failure due to damaged heart muscle, many forms of treatment have been used to treat symptoms very effectively. UC San Diego Health experts create treatment plans tailored to fit the needs of each patient based on their age, medical history, cause, type and stage of heart failure, and personal preferences. Learn more about heart failure-related care at UC San Diego Health which is ranked among the nation’s best by U.S. News & World Report. https://lnkd.in/gV7b66xh
