Nursing Practice
Attention clinicians! AAHFN has added several new items to the Resource area of the website.
- In the Advanced Practice section, an excellent case study on
Sleep Disordered Breathing has been posted. This
case highlights the need for assessment of this disorder in our heart failure patients as well as the challenges
of treating this problem. We plan to add case studies on a monthly basis (have a good one? send it in!)
- In the Clinical Resource section, we have two new additions:
--First, a practical guide for
Comprehensive Assessment
and Symptoms of Heart Failure (CASH) has been posted. This was developed by the Membership Committee and
provides a great, "quick" resource guide.
--Second, a summary of JCAHO Core Measures
for heart failure and myocardial infarction have been posted. Nurses who practice in the in-patient setting
and those involved in outcome measurement will find this a helpful summary.
Check these additions out and then post a message on our message board and let us know what you think!
