Abstract

The use of geriatric and social assessment grids by dedicated nurses for patients hospitalised for acute heart failure allows for an early and safe return home in home hospitalisation. These grids isolate a sub-group of older patients with a high risk of re-hospitalisation for whom specific actions can be envisaged.
