Abstract 150: Care for Heart Failure Patients at the End of Life: Hospital Readmission and Mortality Amongst Heart Failure Patients Discharged to Hospice [Session Title: Poster Session AM]

Conclusion: Hospice use in patients hospitalized with HF is limited but increasing. Few hospice patients are rehospitalized and almost a quarter die within 3 days of discharge. These findings may inform interventions to improve hospice care for HF patients.
