The Heart Failure Core Measure Set includes discharge instructions on diet,activity,medications,weight monitoring and plan for worsening symptoms,evaluation of left ventricular systolic function (usually with an echocardiogram),and prescribing an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker.Aspirin is not part of the Heart Failure Core Measure Set and is usually prescribed for clients who experience a myocardial infarction.Although the nurse may consult the social worker or case manager for additional resources,this is not part of the Core Measures.
