Optimizing heart failure pathways to enhance patient care: the Program to Optimize Heart Failure Patient Pathways (PRO-HF).

PRO-HF provides a valuable opportunity to identify gaps and significant shortcomings in HF pathways in European hospitals. Preliminary findings from hospitals that have initiated suggested changes to address these challenges are encouraging, though longer-term follow-up from more hospitals is needed to confirm the impact of PRO-HF on HF pathway optimization and patient care.
