Title: East Hesse Heart Failure Network Aims to Improve Care for Patients in Fulda
Date: September 30, 2023
A newly founded network in East Hesse, known as the East Hesse Heart Failure Network, is dedicated to improving the care of patients with heart failure in the region. The network aims to establish a sustainable framework for the collaboration of all medical actors involved in heart failure care.
Heart failure, a serious chronic condition that can worsen over time, often develops as a result of underlying diseases such as high blood pressure or coronary heart disease. With the goal of addressing the complexities of heart failure, the East Hesse Heart Failure Network seeks to eliminate any gaps in care by ensuring seamless cooperation between family doctors, cardiologists, and hospitals offering different levels of care.
The network’s primary objective is to enable early diagnosis of heart failure and optimize treatment processes. By achieving these goals, significant improvements can be made in both the performance and quality of life of affected patients. With the German Heart Foundation as a patron, the network ensures a strong advocate for patients’ interests.
Prof. Dr. Volker Schächinger, representing the network’s management team, explains that early recognition of heart failure and the implementation of necessary measures are the main priorities of the network. Partnering with various clinics and practices, the East Hesse Heart Failure Network has established specialized care structures focused on heart failure, including heart failure focus practices and a Heart Failure Unit at the cardiothoracic center of Klinikum Fulda.
Additionally, surrounding clinics play crucial roles in providing regular care for patients with heart failure. This collaborative approach guarantees comprehensive and accessible care throughout the region.
In unrelated news, 56 new apartments are being constructed for the employees and medical students of Klinikum Fulda, with a topping-out ceremony recently celebrated at the project site on Pacelliallee.
The establishment of the East Hesse Heart Failure Network represents a significant step towards enhancing the treatment and management of heart failure in Fulda and the wider region. By collaborating across medical specialties and healthcare settings, the network aims to optimize care for patients and ultimately improve their outcomes and quality of life.]
