Primary care clinicians play a crucial role in the assessment, referral, and monitoring of this patient population. This program focuses on providing primary care clinicians with guidance at the different stages of managing patients with heart failure. It will provide expert insight on key clinical issues at these stages. This should provide clinicians with the information and tools to improve outcomes in this patient population.
