Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) is a complicated condition with various causes that requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment approach; however, existing self-management programs may not effectively reduce readmissions.
- This study evaluated a simplified one-page chronic disease self-management (CDSM) tool against a detailed program, focusing on its ability to assess self-management potential and predict hospital readmissions and major cardiovascular events.
- Out of 117 patients studied, results showed different categorizations of self-management abilities, highlighting the simplified tool's potential effectiveness in identifying patients at risk of poor self-management capabilities.

Objectives: Identify clinical and demographic characteristics of low-acuity presentations (LAPs) to the ED and analyse correlations between population rates of LAPs to ED and rates of Medicare-subsidised general practitioner (GP) services across statistical areas.
Methods: Retrospective data linkage study using state-wide ED data and publicly available data on GP services per population by statistical area. We performed multilevel logistic regression to determine predictors of LAP at an individual level after adjusting for remoteness categories and performed correlations between rates of LAP and GP services per population across statistical areas in New South Wales, Australia.
