Evidence-Based Practice Guideline/Position Statement Paper

 
 After being discharged from the hospital, persons seeking medical attention are increasing
in the United States Health care systems. This scenario is experienced mostly by people suffering
from heart failure. Although heart failure is reoccurring in nature, some other factor causes this
problem. Some people neglect the health care providers' guidelines on how the medication is
supposed to be followed immediately they are discharged. From research, readmission of
individuals suffering from heart attack stands at approximately 25% of the total persons admitted
with the same condition (Yancy et al., 2016). Furthermore, it also states that the worst case is that
the condition comes at an advanced state than before being discharged. All these problems of
being readmitted to the hospital do not necessarily mean that the patient or their immediate
families did not follow the care plan protocols to undergo this situation. We also have several
other factors that contribute to this situation, either directly or indirectly. However, preventive
measures can be used in the hospitals to correct the occurrence of this situation of heart failure
readmission rise. Furthermore, there has been increased health care costs, mortality rates, and
causes of readmission in the United States due to increased diagnosis of CHF (Antman et al.,
2016). Heart failure has been attributed to a staggering three hundred and fifty billion dollars per
annum usage, trying to intervene with this disease. Having the above analysis in mind brings us
to the main goal of this paper. Discussions revolving around the importance of clinical guidelines
on heart failure initiated by the surviving heart failure campaign 2016 will be the author's area of
interest. I wish to do a thorough analysis and comprehend the campaign strategy in terms of
initial assessment and heart failure patients in critical care in hospital environments.
