Hemodynamic monitoring
Objective, continuous pressure data, invasive and non-invasive, that catches decompensation days before symptoms do.

Specialist consulting firm
Turn your heart failure program into a monitored, billed, penalty-avoiding system.
We build and train the workflow, using a physician-designed, patent-pending methodology, that helps hospitals and cardiology practices reduce readmission penalties and capture the revenue their existing programs leave on the table.
What the system does for one patient
-
AdmissionPatient identifiedNew heart failure admissions are identified as they arrive.
-
During the stayScreened for hemodynamic monitoring eligibilityReviewed against standardized selection criteria for invasive and non-invasive monitoring.
-
DischargeFollow-up already bookedThe post-discharge visit is on the calendar before the patient leaves.
-
Within 2 business daysPost-discharge callSymptoms checked, appointment confirmed, medications reconciled.
-
By day 7 or 14Transitional care visitSeen in clinic, documented and billed as Transitional Care Management.
-
Through day 30Managed on objective dataPressure trends guide diuretic changes, with a rescue option before a hospital visit is needed.
-
Beyond day 30Continued monitoringProactive heart failure care that helps prevent future hospital admissions.
Our mission
Moving acute heart failure management from inpatient to outpatient care.
This is achieved through rescue diuretics and precision diuresis guided by hemodynamic monitoring.
Our goal
- Lower rates of index heart failure visits and 30-day readmissions
- Shorter length of stay
The problem
Most heart failure programs rely on symptom-based check-ins and manual follow-up scheduling. Problems are caught after a patient decompensates, not before.
Revenue from remote monitoring and Transitional Care Management is inconsistently captured along the way. We replace that with a documented, trainable system your own staff can run.
30 days
The Medicare readmission window the program is built around.
7 and 14 days
Post-discharge follow-up windows tied to Medicare TCM billing codes.
3 pillars
Monitoring, follow-up and treatment, working as one system.
Up to 3%
Medicare payment reduction a hospital can face under the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program.
Services
Three pillars, one integrated system.
02
Transitional care coordination
A structured 7- and 14-day post-discharge follow-up workflow built around Medicare's TCM billing codes, with staff trained on the process and the financial case behind it.

03
Rescue diuretic management
Rescue-diuretic prescribing alongside an objective, hemodynamics-guided titration protocol run by a trained, designated staff member.

Why HFS
Clinical authority, not generic consulting.
Heart Failure Solutions was founded by cardiologists. We install the methodology we designed.
-
01Physician-designedA documented, trainable system built from direct clinical experience.
-
02Patent pendingThe methodology is described in a pending U.S. patent application co-invented by our founders.
-
03Device-agnosticWe sell no devices and receive no manufacturer compensation based on device volume.
How we measure it
A monthly scorecard, not a yearly surprise.
Every engagement includes a scorecard your program steering committee reviews each month, so gaps surface in weeks.
-
Readmission rateAre fewer patients coming back within 30 days?
-
TCM capture rateIs the follow-up work being documented and billed?
-
Monitoring-billing capture rateIs remote monitoring being billed each month?
-
Escalation-response complianceAre out-of-range readings acted on in time?
-
Inpatient heart failure populationIs it falling overall as care shifts to the outpatient setting?
