PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The body of evidence supporting the use of emerging therapies in heart failure (HF) is constantly evolving. Recent findings among patients hospitalized with acute decompensated HF demonstrate the potential for a simpler treatment algorithm for inpatient care. In addition to negating the transition period necessary between therapies, hospitalized patients represent a captive audience and one that can be more easily educated and monitored for adherence. These and other considerations will be addressed by this activity including additional clinical trial results.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After completing the activity, participants should be better able to:
  • Integrate novel therapies for HF into plan algorithms and utilization management strategies in light of published evidence and provider inertia
  • Illustrate opportunities to overcome barriers to member access to care along with appropriate HF therapy within the current framework of health plan operations and infrastructure
  • Employ collaborative strategies for HF management, including overseeing care transitions, enlisting the input and support of a multidisciplinary team of health care providers
