Heart Failure Plus with Consultancy Day

Interface has developed the Heart Failure (HF) Plus service to support Practices and Federations to investigate their heart failure registers, with the help of an experienced clinical pharmacist.

There is a poor prognosis within the heart failure domain. The National HF Audit project that LVSD is the cause of HF in 55% of cases, yet official QOF data shows it’s only coded in 1 out of 3 patients with HF.

The HF Plus service closes that gap by supporting practices to identify, add and enable better management of appropriate HF patients. In addition to the clinical benefits, including improved patient care, practices will see an uplift in QOF income.

The HF Plus service includes:

• The HF plus tool which extracts data from heart failure registers.  This will refine the diagnosis of patients, including those with LVSD.
• An on-site consultancy day. The interface pharmacist will work with the practice to maximise the benefits of the tool, help to identify patients and ensure practices maximise their QOF income.
