The certification provides an evidence-based framework for evaluating skilled nursing facilities against the American Heart Association\u2019s rigorous science-based requirements for heart failure patients, including program management, patient and caregiver education and support, care coordination, clinical management and quality improvement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParticipation in this certification benefits the patient and the facility by standardizing care practices,\u201d said Cory Woods, DNP, MHA, MSN, RN, volunteer chair of the American Heart Association\u2019s Quality Certification Business Management Committee and assistant chief clinical officer at Rockport Healthcare Services in Los Angeles. \u201cWhen there are clear processes during every phase of care, patients have the best opportunity for positive outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/10.1161\/CIRCHEARTFAILURE.121.008335\">1 in 4 heart failure patients are readmitted<\/a> within 30 days of discharge and approximately half are readmitted within six months; about one-quarter of readmissions may be preventable. This certification can support facilities\u2019 efforts to stop preventable readmissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeart failure patients need high-quality care after leaving the hospital that follows evidence-based guidelines, giving them the best chance to improve their health,\u201d said Armani Sepe, Elmhurst\u2019s Administrator. \u201cWe want to be trailblazers and continue to use innovative methods to give our heart failure patients the best care. The American Heart Association has armed us with additional tools and recognized our success. It is an honor to have our processes and efforts recognized in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To be eligible for this certification, the facility must be in the U.S. or a U.S. territory and implement a heart failure program that uses a standardized method of delivering clinical care based on current evidence-based guidelines.
