Area deprivation and patient complexity predict low value healthcare utilization in persons with heart failure
Heart failure (HF) is a debilitating condition affecting over 6.7million adults in the United States. Social risks and complexity, or personal, social, and clinical aspects of persons' experiences, have been found to influence healthcare utilization and hospitalizations in persons with HF. Low value utilization, or irregular outpatient visits with frequent emergency room use, or hospitalization is common among persons with complex conditions and social risk and requires further investigation in the HF population.
