As February winds down, we are reminded that it is American Heart Month – a time when the nation spotlights heart disease, the No. 1 killer of Americans.
President Lyndon B. Johnson, among the millions of people in the country who’d had heart attacks, issued the first proclamation in 1964. Since then, U.S. presidents have annually declared February American Heart Month.
Home health agencies care for patients with heart failure every day, assisting them in managing their disease and remaining independent in their homes. This challenging disease can be difficult to navigate, but with evidenced based assessments and interventions, clinicians can care for patients with excellence and achieve improved outcomes.
MAC-Legacy has developed a Heart Failure Disease Management Plan to assist agencies in building or enhancing an evidenced based program. The plan provides all the necessary tools to create a program with evidenced-based resources, education to train your staff in assessment and intervention strategies, evaluate their competency, and provide evidenced-based care and education to your patients who have Heart Failure. The plan is verified by CHAP and can give your agency a competitive edge in today’s healthcare landscape.
