0476_SBH_Heart Failure - GDMT Initiation During Hospitalization_EM
Description:
Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality across the world. Despite its use in outpatient care settings, the use of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for in-hospital initiation and post-discharge titration by pharmacists working in the acute care setting remains suboptimal in chronic heart failure patients with close to 20% of patients being re-hospitalized and nearly 10% of patients perishing from the condition. In-hospital GDMT initiation and titration has a rapidly expanding body of evidence to support its efficacy and safety. This course serves to bridge the gap in knowledge of GDMT, the medications therein, and the sequencing of administration.
Target Audience
Pharmacists (PharmD)
Learning Objectives
As a result of participation in this activity, learners should be able to:
• Evaluate the evidence associated with initiation and maintenance of GDMT during heart failure hospitalization.
• Recommend approaches for GDMT optimization tailored to individual patient clinical scenarios.
• Explain why inpatient and TOC pharmacists are essential for GDMT optimization during heart failure hospitalization.
