Abstract
Surgical pilot program followed patients who were re-covering from coronary artery bypass graft procedures. A cardiac surgery nurse visits patients in their homes to provide physical assessments, reinforce discharge teaching and answer questions. Because of the pilot's success, the program was integrated with the transitional-open heart unit.Keywords
