Quality of Care among Patients with Acute Heart Failure at the Emergency Room and Adherence of Physicians at the University of the Philippines – Philippine General Hospital to the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine – Heart Failure Pathway: A Retrosp

Overall adherence rate of physicians to the hospital's Acute Heart Failure Pathway was satisfactory. Work is needed to improve adherence to hourly urine output monitoring, consistent hooking to cardiac monitor, and timely performance of 12-lead ECG - an effort that begins with expanding in-hospital diagnostic equipment and human resource supply. We recommend continuous pathway implementation with periodic evaluation and stakeholder feedback to further improve quality of care.
