Heart Failure Library

Educating patients about heart failure is a critical part of heart failure management. In fact, patient education about heart failure, especially at discharge, can help you address the Joint Commission’s heart failure core measures.

Milner-Fenwick’s library of new videos gives you all the resources you’ll need to help your patients understand the conditon, learn effective self-management skills, improve their quality of life, and stay out of the hospital.

Our new Heart Failure library, which was released in June of 2011, includes:

These In-facility programs can be used in heart failure outpatient classes, one-to-one patient education, and over inpatient TV channel.

Heart Failure-discharge

Nancy Mannion, RN, Team Leader Preventative Cardiology at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, MD was one of the consultants on the series. She observed, “A patient in one of the films said it best, ‘It is a disease. You do need to make changes, but with those changes it is something you CAN live with.’ Getting patients to understand that, and that the heart failure center can help them is the primary value of the videos.”

. . . “The term heart failure is scary to patients. If patients are better informed, the healthcare team can communicate and remove that fear.”

“Putting real patients in the videos is huge. Being able to see someone else who has gone through what they are going through is very beneficial.”

Heart Failure-Cooking

An In-Home video is designed as a patient giveaway. It covers the self-care
skills patients need to put into practice every day.

Both the home DVD and the booklet can be personalized with your name, logo, or other message for an additional charge. Call for more information- (800) 432-8433.
