A Comparison of Prescribing Guideline-Advocated Treatment for Heart Failure at Discharge from Cardiology and Non-Cardiology Wards
Prescription rates with key components of pharmacological and non-pharmacological HF management were lower in non-cardiology than in cardiology wards. For pharmacological management, this appeared related to higher patient complexity rather than the ward. Quality improvement programs to strengthen adherence to guideline-advocated treatment is warranted to optimise care, especially for higher complexity admitted to a non-cardiology ward.
