Congestive Heart Failure Program

Categories: Promote Health and Wellness

Blue Shield of California implemented the Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Program to monitor patients suffering from CHF and improve their health outcomes.  Through the collaborative efforts of a team of physicians and nurses, the program provides coordinated, personalized care for members with CHF and tracks their progress using special home monitoring equipment.  Since its inception, the program has reduced expected inpatient admissions and emergency room visits by more than 20 percent among participating members.
