Haiti Community Health Workers (CHW) Adaptation

The intervention will consist of follow up phone calls and visits during which the CHWs will remind patients about upcoming visits, ensure patient has sufficient medications, review medication schedule and provide education as needed.

SOC after discharge for HF is to notify patients of a follow-up visit at the hospital/clinic - about 7 days after discharge and provide patients about 30 days of medications at discharge. If a patient does not return for a follow-up appointment, there are no systems to track this missed visit, or to trigger active attempts to contact patients. For patients who come back to their scheduled 7-day visit, there is generally a 14-day visit followed by a 28-day visit.
