Pharmacists in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) who received feedback on their patients' heart failure medication rates, along with educational tools, significantly increased the frequency of managing heart failure and adjusting medications for their patients. The PHARM-HF A&F Study involved 120 VHA primary care pharmacists responsible for over 7,000 heart failure patients. The pharmacists were divided into three groups: a control group receiving educational materials, an audit and feedback group, and a third group receiving targeted patient information. Preliminary findings showed that pharmacists who received audit and feedback increased their patient visits for heart failure care by 1.2 per month and medication adjustments by 0.2 per month, compared to the education-only group. They were also more likely to prescribe mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, historically underprescribed for heart failure. 'We found that when pharmacists participated in the audit and feedback group, they were more likely to identify patients who would benefit from medication adjustment, set up new appointments with patients to adjust heart failure medications and adjust heart failure medication therapy during appointments,' said lead author Dr. Alexander Tarlochan Singh Sandhu. The study highlights the potential for practical interventions involving pharmacists to improve heart failure and chronic disease management. Further research will evaluate long-term impacts and gather qualitative feedback from pharmacists. #heartfailure #pharmacists #veteranshealth @americanheart @stanfordmedicine

Terrific article in Medical Economics by Sherri Rains RN CWOCN, chief clinical officer for CenterWell Home Health, about what it takes to move the needle on hospital readmissions and other measures of home-health patient outcomes. Any good home-health provider knows the importance of care plans tailored to each individual. But CenterWell Home Health goes a step beyond by developing research-based, advanced clinical programs to address the complex conditions most frequently treated in the home setting, including diabetes, heart failure and open wounds, as well as the factors that increase fall risks. Our Home Health clinicians are prepared to deal with whatever comes their way. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gxizMbi4.

Excited to share my latest work: "Dynamic Changes in Medication Burden Leading to Falls and Hospital Readmissions in Older Adults." The paper highlights the critical role of managing drug burden to prevent falls and hospital readmissions in older populations. It also explores the potential of integrating metrics like the Drug Burden Index (DBI) into healthcare systems to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and promote equity.Christy Xavier #AMCP #JMCP #SW-AMCP #ISPOR #UNTHSC UNTHSC College of Pharmacy

Disparities in Post-Hospitalization Care: The Road to Recovery is Uneven A study recently published in *Annals of Internal Medicine* highlights a crucial issue: disparities in post-hospitalization care are leaving some patients behind. While we often focus on the quality of care inside the hospital, the care after discharge is equally critical for recovery—and this is where many patients from marginalized communities face significant barriers. The study reveals that patients in underserved populations are more likely to experience poor transitions from hospital to home, resulting in higher rates of readmission and adverse outcomes. Factors such as limited access to follow-up care, cost of medications, social and family support, and understanding of discharge instructions are contributing to these disparities. Equitable healthcare doesn’t end when a patient leaves the hospital. We must prioritize improving post-discharge care and ensure patients are supported in their recovery journey. Let's start by addressing these gaps with targeted interventions that provide continuous care for all patients, no matter their background. #HealthEquity #PostDischargeCare #HealthcareDisparities #PatientCare https://lnkd.in/e-55k-3n
