2025 AHPN Clinical Care Pathways: Managing Heart Failure in the Outpatient Setting - A Primary Care Approach (PI)

Heart failure affects over 6.7 million people in the US, costing 30.7 billion dollars annually for treatment. This video explains the AdventHealth PHN Clinical Care Pathways process and offers an opportunity for Primary Care Providers dealing with ambulatory chronic diseases to improve patient care.

This discussion reviews the American Heart Association (AHA) and American College of Cardiology (ACC) recommendations, which includes groups of classes that will be distributed to physicians to help standardize the treatment of heart failure patients according to current AHA/ACC best practice HF guidelines.

There are six HF Clinical Care Pathway Performance Monitoring Metrics that will be monitored to assess the status.

To indicate your interest in the project:

1. REGISTER first using the option above.

2. Select Begin and complete the required Baseline Metrics questions.

3. Once the baseline is complete, you can watch the video and explore the process materials for additional guidance.

Registration shows your intent to participate but does not guarantee credits.  To earn CME and/or MOC credits, all stages must be completed, including the Board required Reflection Assessment.

By late Q1 or early Q2 2026, participants who registered and completed the baseline metrics will receive instructions on how to complete the project and claim credits.

If you encounter an issue registering, or have questions about CME or Board approvals, email the CPD Department.
