Popis: Despite advances in pharma and high-technology medicine, the rate of burdensome hospital admissions and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) remains high. Over half of all admission-entailing decompensations have been repeatedly shown to emerge from non-compliance with outpatient prescriptions. Poor adherence to medication and non-medication treatment can only be broken by improving the patient’s awareness of the disease and his closer monitoring by healthcare professionals. The power of clinical and laboratory illness monitoring in line with the recommended quality criteria of medical aid in heart failure (HF) is strongly limited today by time resources available in outpatient and midwifery clinics. Meanwhile, an international and certain domestic experience has been built up to run CHF outpatient centres with involvement of specially-trained nursing and senior medical staff. Analytic evidence on such centres suggests a reduction in mortality and hospitalisation rate among the visiting patients. To combat existing drawbacks of CHF outpatient care, the National Medical Research Center of Cardiology in alliance with the Specialist Society of Heart Failure have developed the nurses’ guidelines for CHF rooms and are launching a medical staff training programme to manage CHF rooms, registry and data analysis. Furthermore, a procedure has been developed for patient routing to regional CHF outpatient cabinets that is being actively deployed in the Tyumen Region.
