CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS

Online CE: Self-management: Improving heart failure outcomes

Enhancement of self-management skills is occasionally linked to improving patient ability to perform self-care behaviors and improve outcomes. Self-management strategies for heart failure patients are being incorporated into practice to provide patients the skills to help them care for themselves. Making simple changes in our patient education practices can optimize self-management skills for those who must live with chronic disease, and can result in the reduction of healthcare costs associated with recurrent hospitalization.
