For purposes of this measure, LVSD is defined as chart documentation of a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40% or a narrative description of left ventricular function (LVF) consistent with moderate or severe systolic dysfunction.
  • Percent of heart failure patients who were prescribed with evidence-based specific beta blockers (Bisoprolol, 卡维地洛, Metoprolol Succinate CR/XL) at discharge.
  • Percent of heart failure patients with documentation in the hospital record that left ventricular function (LVF) was assessed before arrival, 在住院治疗, or is planned for after discharge.
  • Percent of eligible heart failure patients for whom a follow- up appointment was scheduled and documented including location, 日期, and time for follow up visits or location and 日期 for home health visit.
