The full cohort of patients (N = 3,902) was included in the model for the 7-day PCP in-person visit. Nineteen patients with unknown travel times to their primary care facility were dropped from models for a 7-day ED visit, hospitalization, or HF-specific hospitalization, as these patients did not have a 7-day ED visit or hospitalization.

ED = emergency department; HF = heart failure; OR = odds ratio; PCP = primary care physician.
