N C M U N I V ERS I TY M E D ICINE GOV E R NOR STR E E T PR I M A RY C A R E C E N TER 1 Heart Failure: Caring for Patients in the Community 2 Stages of Heart Failure • Acute Left-sided heart failure: This is the most common type of heart failure: ◦ systolic heart failure: prevents the left ventricle from proper pumping ◦ diastolic heart failure: dysfunctional filling of right ventricle 3 Stages of Heart failure • Acute Right-sided heart failure: This usually happens simultaneously with left-sided heart failure. When the left ventricle fails it results in increased pressure, and subsequent damage, to the right side of the heart. The right side of the heart cannot pump efficiently, causing fluid to accumulate in the veins, which may cause lower extremity edema. 4 Stages of Heart failure •Chronic Congestive heart failure: ◦ Left sided CHF indicates damage to left ventricle causing pulmonary edema. ◦ Right sided CHF indicates damage to right ventricle and ability to effectively pump blood to lungs causing fluid accumulation in lower extremities and abdomen. 5 Evidence Based Guidelines for Treatment • Acute/chronic HF treatment: Medication management – diuretics, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, ARBs O2 therapy Surgical repair if indicated Cardiac rehabilitation Lifestyle changes: o Weight management o Smoking cessation o Exercise as tolerated o Stress management 6 Care Management: NCM Interventions • Education • Teaching patient self-management • Coaching sessions • Weekly/monthly check-in/management • Support • Community resources 7 Patient Self-Management • Teach patients to know “their problem list” • Weight monitoring • Medication management • Know “red flags” and when to call physician • Know how to access physicians 24/7 • Exercise • Stress management 8 Your Goal Weight: Green Zone Means: Green Zone: All Clear No shortness of breath No swelling No weight gain No chest pain No decrease in your ability to maintain your activity level Yellow Zone: Caution If you have any of the following signs and symptoms: Weight gain of 3 or more pounds in 2 days Increased cough Increased swelling Increase in shortness of breath with activity Increase in the number of pillows needed Anything else unusual that bothers you Call your physician if you are going into the YELLOW zone Your symptoms may indicate that you need an adjustment of your medications Call your physician, nurse coordinator, or home health nurse. Name:___________________________ Number:__________________________ Instructions: _______________________ __________________________________ Red Zone: Medical Alert Yellow Zone Means: Your symptoms are under control Continue taking your medications as ordered Continue daily weights Follow low salt diet Keep all physician appointments Unrelieved shortness of breath: shortness of breath at rest Unrelieved chest pain Wheezing or chest tightness at rest Need to sit in chair to sleep Weight gain or loss of more than 5 pounds in 2 days Confusion Red Zone Means: This indicates that you need to be evaluated by a physician right away Call your physician right away Physician___________________________ Number____________________________ Call your physician immediately if you are going into the RED zone 9 External Care Team/Resources • Lifespan Transition of Care program • VNA/home care cardiac care programs o Infusion resources/supports o Advanced illness management program • Tele Health • Behavioral Health • Nutrition • Hospice 10 Case Presentation • Toni 88 yo patient with long-standing right-sided HF with CHF • Hospitalizations every 3-4 weeks for CHF for IV diuretics • Managed at home with support of VNA cardiac team and eventually hospice services. • Receives IV Bumex 4-5 days/week/support • Has not been hospitalized in 8 months •Provider/care team home visits 11 Heart Failure: Total Cost of Care • Complex disease to manage • Frequent ED encounters/hospitalizations costly • Moving care/management to the community setting less costly and can accomplish: empowers patient/caregivers to manage disease consistent care by primary physician and care team early identification of concerns support for the stages of care 12
