Outline of Final Research Achievements

Study 1: A questionnaire survey on community collaboration in heart failure (HF) revealed the following problems: 1. inadequate information sharing between hospitals and family doctors; 2. family doctors less provide standard HF medications; 3. inadequate assessment of care burden and frailty in hospitals; 4. insufficient establishment of a collaboration system for HF
Study 2: A community collaboration pathway for HF was developed and a satisfaction survey of collaboration was conducted after its introduction. In hospitals and nursing homes, satisfaction with information sharing correlated with satisfaction of collaboration, while in clinics, satisfaction with efficiency correlated with satisfaction of collaboration. These results suggest that staff in hospitals and nursing homes are needing improved information sharing in community collaboration, while staffs in clinics are needing for improved efficiency in community collaboration for HF
