Mashup Score: 43Get With the Guidelines-Heart Failure: Twenty Years in Review, Lessons Learned, and the Road Ahead | Circulation: Heart Failure - 4 day(s) ago
The Get With the Guidelines-Heart Failure program was developed in 2005 with the goal of bringing evidence-based guidelines in heart failure management into widespread clinical practice. The program includes workshops, webinars, tool kits, chart abstraction, performance benchmarking, and achievement awards to drive quality improvement at participating hospitals. Two decades after its inception, the program has grown to include over 600 participating institutions across the United States. Linking registry data to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services claims has also allowed for the evaluation of longitudinal outcomes. Get With the Guidelines-Heart Failure has helped improve the quality of care for patients and has contributed substantially to the understanding of clinical science and optimal management of heart failure. This narrative review provides an overview of the indelible impact of the Get With the Guidelines-Heart Failure program on quality heart failure care over the past

Mashup Score: 34Prescription patterns in management of Heart failure and its association with re-admissions: A retrospective analysis. - 22 day(s) ago
: AHA/ACC/HFSA recently added SGLT2i in addition to RAASi, Beta-blockers and MRAs to form the 4 pillars of Guideline-directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) for management of Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Despite strong evidence suggesting improved outcomes with inpatient initiation of GDMT at target doses, significant lag has been noted in prescription practices.

Mashup Score: 33Home-Time, Mortality, and Readmissions Among Patients Hospitalized With Heart Failure: A Baseline Prior to IMPLEMENT-HF | Circulation: Heart Failure - 1 month(s) ago
BACKGROUND: Home-time is an emerging, patient-centered outcome that represents the amount of time a patient spends alive and outside of health care facility settings, comprising of hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and acute rehabilitation centers. Studies evaluating home-time in the context of heart failure are limited, and the impact of quality improvement interventions on home-time has not been studied. METHODS: Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 years or older who were hospitalized for heart failure in the Get With the Guidelines-Heart Failure registry between 2019 and 2021 were included. Postdischarge home-time, mortality, and readmission rates at 30 days and 1 year were calculated with the goal of establishing baseline metrics before the initiation of IMPLEMENT-HF, a multicenter quality improvement program aimed at improving heart failure management. RESULTS: Overall, 66 019 patients were included across 437 sites. Median 30-day and 1-year home-time were 30 (18–30) and 333 (139–
