We developed and implemented a patient-centered care curriculum for residents on the inpatient general medicine service that focuses on the importance of knowing patients as individuals to achieve safer transitions out of the hospital.3 We hypothesized that this curriculum would reduce 30-day rehospitalizations for patients with HF, since effective daily self-management plays an especially crucial role in avoiding the complications of this condition.
