B. Educate patients regarding positive health behaviors that promote optimal clinical outcomes (e.g. compliance with medication, diet adherence, flexible diuretic regimen, self-care skills).

C. Educate patients and caregivers regarding risk of HF symptoms.

D. Enhance provider and patient communication in discharge planning and care transitions to reduce hospital readmissions among patients with heart failure.

II. Assessment (41 items)

A. Assess to determine appropriate treatment plan.

B. Evaluate risk of HF decompensation in patients with cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease.

C. Evaluate risk of HF decompensation in patients with acute coronary syndrome and valve disease.

D. Evaluate risk of HF decompensation in patients with elevated BP.

E. Evaluate risk of HF decompensation in patients with CAD.

D. Determine needs for HF treatment interventions (e.g., diagnostic tests, medications, palliative, preventive, surgical).

F. Determine differential diagnoses by prioritizing/recognizing urgent and emergent conditions.

G. Determine differential diagnoses by synthesizing and analyzing subjective/objective information.

I. Determine the effectiveness of the plan of treatment and care based on outcomes by assessing patient response(s).

J. Determine the effectiveness of the plan of treatment and care based on outcomes by collecting additional subjective and/or objective information as needed.

K. Recognize the importance of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with HF (e.g. cognitive dysfunction, chronic alcoholism, depression, symptom burden, functional status).

L. Establish a patient-centered treatment and care plan that includes considering comorbidities.

M. Establish a patient-centered treatment and care plan that includes making referrals to other health professionals and community resources.
