The goal of heart failure (HF) performance measures is to improve quality of care by assessing the implementation of guidelines in eligible patients. Little is known about the proportion of eligible patients and how performance measures are implemented in the community. We determined the eligibility for and adherence to performance measures and beta-blocker therapy in a community-based cohort of hospitalized HF patients from 1/2005-6/2011. All of the 465 HF inpatients (median age 76 years, 48% men) included in the study received an ejection fraction (EF) assessment. Only 164 had an EF<40% thus were candidates for beta-blocker and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) therapy. Considering absolute contraindications, 99 patients were eligible to receive ACE inhibitors/ARB, and 162 to receive beta-blockers. Among these, 85% received ACE inhibitors/ARBs and 91% received beta-blockers. Among the 261 individuals with atrial fibrillation, 89 were eligible for warfarin and 54% received it. Of 52 current smokers, 69% received cessation counseling during hospitalization. In the community, among eligible hospitalized HF patients, the implementation of performance measures can be improved. However, as most patients are not candidates for current performance measures, other approaches are needed to improve care and outcomes.
