Brief Summary:
Patients who undergo cardiac surgery will be screened by a team member with the risk score once the patient has been admitted to the Cardiovascular Progressive Care Unit (CVPCU) after surgery. Participants will be randomized to the intervention or the control group. Both groups will receive standard discharge planning. In addition, the intervention group will have a nurse practitioner (NP) who will be responsible to verify that each essential step of the discharge process has been completed and will visit the patient in patient's home after discharge to complete a physical, review medications, titrate medications as needed, prescribe any necessary treatments, and perform education. The primary outcome variable will be a decrease in the 30 day readmission rate comparing high risk patients at pre and post intervention.
