We are deep in Heart Failure season so thought it was appropriate to review some things to meet the Core measures that affect our repayment on Heart Failure admissions.
Here are some reading links for you....

You all have been doing well with reminding caregivers and education of patients but a little review never hurts to keep us all current!
Kudos to Otie for someone out of our department noticing what we all see each day you work-Norman Roy mentioned that even though she was busy one day she took the time to review a patients needs with him. Again something we do each day but feels good to know that we are valued for our knowledge of our patients.
Dr. Hanf also recognized Wanda's efforts with a difficult end of life situation and managed her up to the family as well as to Rosalie Dwyer which went a long way to making the death experience for the family as much of a positive experience as could be expected.
Nice job Ladies!
Have a nice weekend!
