GWTG HF Study finds overall referral rates for patients eligible for cardiac rehab is only 25% and participation is <5%. Referral rates have risen since 2014 with the expansion of coverage but opportunity still exists. #GWTGResearch

Cardiac rehabilitation for HF referral rates have increased from 2010 to 2020
Among eligible patients who received CR referral, participation was low, with <1 of 20 participating in CR.

GWTG-HF data finds HFrEF patient care remained high during the COVID-19 pandemic, but pts. with both HF and COVID-19 patients had higher risk of in-hospital mortality and LOS than pre-pandemic times. @neilkeshvani @ambarish4786 @gcfmd #GWTGResearch

Research from @UTSWNews about a different way hospitals should be evaluated, with more focus on the patient. dmagazine.com/healthcare-bus…

Our piece published @JAMAInternalMed advocates for considering a patient’s ICD status in discussions regarding end-of-life care with current @UTSWIMchief IM residents @S_A_Kelly and @RyanKabirMD @UTSWCardfellow
ICDs are integral in cardiac care, however, defibrillation at the #endoflife may not accurately reflect the patient's goal of care. This Teachable Moment highlights the necessity of evaluation of the ICD when having an end-of-life discussion ja.ma/3kvBWTN

Many patients with ICDs who elect for DNR status do not have their preferences regarding their ICD addressed, and shocks at end-of-life can cause pain and suffering

Our study highlighting 30-day home time as a quality metric in heart failure was published @JAMACardio. This study builds on our work @CircAHA highlighting home time as a metric in MI care w/ @ambarish4786 @saketgirotra

Overall 30-day Home Time reclassifies ~30% of hospitals in performance as compared to 30-day readmission and should be considered as a hospital-level performance measure @CMSGov

One of the most rewarding aspects of my two weeks as a @UTSWCardfellow has been the ability to prescribe #GDMT like #ARNI #SGLT2i to the most vulnerable patients @Parkland without difficulty. Quality of care should not depend on ability to pay out of pocket costs

Our recent paper out this week @CircAHA evaluates 30-Day Risk-Adjusted Home Time as a potential hospital-level performance metric. This was a collaborative project between @utswheartnews and @iowauniv cardiology led by @ambarish4786 and @saketgirotra. Short #tweetorial to follow:

Our hope is that the home time metric may lead to greater scrutiny into utilization of post-acute care facilities by discharging hospitals and encourage preferential use of home-health care as well as higher performing post-acute care facilities.
