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

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 participate in the Performance Improvement (PI) project, you must REGISTER first and then watch the video by selecting Begin.

This project fulfills the requirements for PI CME, ABIM Practice Assessment Part IV and ABFM Performance Improvement credits, as applicable. While registration identifies your intent to participate, it does not guarantee credits.  Participants must complete all stages and meet the Board Maintenance of Certification Reflection Assessment requirements to earn credits. Awarded credits can include 20 CME credits and 20 ABIM MOC Part IV points or one ABFM PI project and 20 points.

Information for claiming CME and/or Board credits will be sent out at the end of 2025.

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

If you have questions about the dashboard, scorecard, metrics, or process please reach out to your AHPN Performance and Enablement Specialist or the PHSO Support Center, [email protected].
