Why the study?
Does adherence to guideline-derived process quality indicators improve hospital mortality and 30-day readmissions in patients hospitalized with heart failure?
Does adherence to guideline-derived process quality indicators improve hospital mortality and 30-day readmissions in patients hospitalized with heart failure?
Adherence to guideline-derived process indicators, such as determining ventricular function, is associated with lower hospital mortality but not necessarily with reduced 30-day readmissions in heart failure patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Assessing ventricular function may warrant priority in HF admissions; leaves open whether process indicators affect readmissions.
