The purpose of this meeting is to follow up from the strategic planning session last month to develop a Clinical Pathway model for our Heart Failure program. This model will be used to educate our physicians, practitioners, nurses, and staff. Additionally, the model will be used to measure our performance when we have fall outs and help us develop Patient Education and Patient Discharge Information materials.
