Abstract:
The viability of measuring and integrating preventive cardiovascular care into home healthcare was investigated through a pilot study fielded during 2013 and 2014. The study tested the feasibility of using a data registry to measure preventive cardiovascular care delivered in home healthcare, examined opportunities for quality improvement, and looked at the association between exposure to evidence-based tools and improvement in aspirin use and blood pressure screening and control among a convenience sample of 20 agencies. Based on promising results, the home healthcare cardiovascular quality initiative continues in alignment with Million Hearts® and offers tools that clinicians can use to understand the risks for heart attack and stroke within their agency's population of patients and respond with best practices.
