Transitions of Care Clinic (TOCC) for Heart Failure
This study is testing a program called the Transitions of Care Clinic (TOCC) to help patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) as they go from the hospital back home. The TOCC program includes an introduction to the program before you leave the hospital, educational videos about heart failure, and a heart failure kit with information. The goal is to see if this program can lower the number of times people are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days after being discharged. You might be able to join if you are 18 to 90 years old, were hospitalized for HFpEF at Ocean University Medical Center, and are going home. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

What this trial measures
- All-cause 30-day hospital readmission rate for heart failure30 days post discharge
This measures the percentage of patients initially hospitalized for HF who are readmitted to the hospital for any reason within 30 days of discharge. This is a standard metric for evaluating HF care and aligns directly with the objective of reducing readmissions.
