This protocol outlines a structured approach for assessing and managing patients diagnosed with heart failure. Key steps include verifying documentation of left ventricular function (LVF) assessment, evaluating left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), educating patients about their condition and its management, and ensuring appropriate medications, such as beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors/ARBs, are prescribed and documented. Continuous education efforts are emphasized to empower patients in managing their heart health effectively.
