HF is described as affecting about 6.2 million US adults and having 30-day readmission rates of 21-25%. T2DM is described as affecting more than 37 million Americans and having readmission rates of 14-22%. COPD is described as affecting more than 16 million Americans and having 30-day readmission rates of 17-20%. Overlap among these chronic diseases increases disease burden, healthcare use, and vulnerability to poor post-discharge outcomes. COPD, HF, and T2DM were chosen because they are prevalent, frequently use hospital resources, and often coexist.
