The main objective of this study was to determine the impact of education and follow-up on readmission rates for the heart failure patients after discharge. Major inclusion criteria were: stabilized heart failure, literacy, tendency of the patients to participate the study, minimum age of 20, telephone access. Major exclusion criteria were: stabilized psychiatric disorders, concurrent fatal disease, and severe hearing impairment. Design and setting: randomized, single blind, single center, placebo not used, trial phase 3. Study population included 120 patients with heart failure who were divided randomly with Block Randomization Method in two control and intervention groups, immediately after discharge. Demographic data of two groups were recorded. There are two parts of intervention; the first part is educating the patient and his/her family immediately after discharge, and also educational pamphlets were given to them. The second part is follow-up using phone call once a week in first month and then every two weeks in the later two months. In every phone call, the information about main outcome measures such as frequency readmissions, frequency outpatient physician visits, drug consumption, and improvement should be asked according to the control check lists. The patients will be guided according to their needs. But patients in control group get the routine care and had been called just every two weeks to record the information about primary outcome.
