Abstrakt: Management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) requires timely initiation and up-titration of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). In safety-net hospitals (SNHs), limited health care staff and resources make achievement of optimal medical therapy challenging. Recent studies have shown that medication titration performed by clinical pharmacists can improve outcomes in ambulatory management of HFrEF; however, the impact of these services within an SNH remains unknown.
