Pharmacist and Nurse Practitioner-Led Medication Management Improves Heart Failure Outcomes

A novel economic model projects that patients with heart failure would live longer and spend less time in the hospital by expanding heart failure care to include pharmacist- and nurse practitioner-led medication management. Findings from the novel study in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of this service and offer a roadmap toward improved patient outcomes and a stronger, more sustainable health care system.
