Description:

Patient education has proven to decrease readmissions in the heart failure population; however, there are some issues with nurse compliance for various reasons. A quality improvement project completed in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) aimed to determine if nurses would be more compliant with documenting disease-specific education topics on post-myocardial infarction patients if it was auto-populated in the electronic health record based on specific parameters.
