Heart failure accounts for more hospital admissions than any other Medicare diagnosis. Research shows that the following care processes decrease morbidity and mortality rates for heart failure patients:
Left ventricular systolic function assessment
ACEI or ARB prescribed for LVSD (EF <40% or description of moderate/severe dysfunction)
Smoking cessation counseling
Written discharge instructions regarding activity, diet, follow-up, medications, symptoms worsening, and weight management
Our goal is to achieve 100% compliance to these measures.

OPPORTUNITY STATEMENT
Concurrent patient care and retrospective chart review indicated an opportunity for improvement in process and outcome for each of the measures.
PLANImplement a Heart Failure Core Measures program in accordance with JCAHO/CMS guidelines
DO•HF Task Force formed•Nursing clinical ladder opportunity offered for data collection and entry•Pilot study of core measure performance for DRG 127
ACT•Physician and nursing staff education•Develop HF-specific documentation forms•Decrease data variability
STUDY•Current processes not adequately fulfilling project requirements•Lack of house-wide awareness/understanding of HF Core Measures•Data variability identified

Cycle 2Cycle 2PLAN•Capture HF patient population using ICD-9 codes rather than DRG coding•Dedicated FTEs for the Core Measures initiative•Revise HF Discharge Progress Note(DPN) addendum•Physician and nursing staff education
DO•100% chart review based on ICD-9 diagnosis codes•Nursing Quality Specialist given responsibility for data collection and entry as well as education•DPN addendum revision to include documentation of ARB as potential contraindication to ACE inhibitor•Multidisciplinary education by in-services and point of service posters/ information
STUDY•Improved documentation of D/C instructions•LV assessment documentation peaked to a level of excellence•Decreased data variability•Continuity of required documentation house-wide needs improvement
ACT•Attend nurse managers meeting to discuss National Hospital Quality Measures•Place HF packets – including standard order sets, discharge instructions, and discharge progress note addendum – in the ED, EP lab, and all patient care areas that treat the HF population

Cycle 3Cycle 3PLAN•Focus on unit and nurse specific performance
DO•Analyze and provide unit and nurse specific performance data to managers •Provide overall performance data to the HF task force
STUDY•High volume cardiac units tend to perform well; however, there is still an opportunity for improvement•Surgical and non-cardiac units need further education regarding the HF measures•Staff nurses perform better than agency nurses
ACT•Surgical and non-cardiac unit-specific education•Agency and registry nurse education•Involve cardiac rehabilitation nurses, heart transplant case managers and nurse practitioners, as well as cardiovascular case managers and nurse practitioners
