Dover, Del.-based Bayhealth has launched a congestive heart failure clinic, the first dedicated clinic of its kind in the state’s Kent and Sussex counties.
The specialty clinic operates out of Bayhealth Cardiology locations in Dover and Milford. It is designed to support patients after hospitalization for heart failure by providing rapid follow-up and specialized outpatient care, as well as reduce emergency department visits and hospital readmissions, according to a Dec. 11 news release.
Patients are scheduled for post-discharge appointments, where they are evaluated by both a cardiology specialist and a pharmacist. The clinic also offers outpatient intravenous diuretic therapy to relieve fluid buildup.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
