The initial aim of this study will be to assess current methods of heart failure (HF) patient
education in terms of patient satisfaction, level of preparedness for home, and care provider
satisfaction. The second aim will be to design and create a "living with HF at home"
simulation session. The third aim will test the hypothesis that hospitalized HF patients who
receive education in a simulation room in addition to usual HF education will have improved
qualitative and quantitative outcomes as compared to those who do not receive the additional
education support.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Male or female > 18 years of age.
2. Ability to understand and sign a written informed consent form, which must be obtained
prior to initiation of any study procedures.
3. Documentation of HF of any etiology based on clinical assessment of the Primary
Investigator, using standard-of-care criteria for diagnosis.
4. Heart failure of either preserved or reduced ventricular function.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patients requiring ICU monitoring
2. LVAD candidate/recipient
3. Cardiac transplant candidate/recipient
4. Confusion
5. Sepsis
6. Terminal illness (other than HF) with expected survival of less than 1 year
7. Enrollment or planned enrollment in another randomized clinical trial during this
hospitalization
8. Inability to comply with planned study procedures
9. Active illicit drug use
10. Participation in any other clinical trials involving investigational or marketed
products within 30 days prior to entry in the study.
11. Other conditions that in the opinion of the Primary Investigator may increase risk to
the subject and/or compromise the quality of the clinical trial.
