    Abstract Defining a path toward improved heart failure (HF) care is essential, as there is a clear need to improve HF treatment quality, outcomes, and value. This article reviews potential strategies to help improve the quality of HF clinical care and decrease costs. To start, HF phenotyping may be useful in guiding patient treatment, as some phenotypes are associated with higher hospitalization costs and longer length of stay. Identifying and addressing social determinants of health that may be barriers to optimal health may improve management of HF and help to prevent disease progression. In addition, patient-reported outcomes can be useful for evaluating the effectiveness of treatment regimens and assessing which treatments lead to a genuine improvement in quality of life (QOL). Recent innovations in payment reform have seen the implementation of value-based payment (VBP) models over the traditional fee-for-service (FFS) models. FFS models can lead to low-quality care focused on treating illness instead of supporting wellness initiatives. By contrast, VBP models aim to decrease excessive health care costs, thereby increasing incentives to hospitals that deliver high-quality patient care. Further, novel care delivery approaches, such as hospital-at-home and other digital tools, can provide patients with lower-cost care and are associated with improved QOL, including reductions in hospital readmission.

    Abstract Despite the availability of effective therapies that lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, many eligible patients are inadequately treated and their LDL-C levels remain suboptimal. Patient nonadherence to lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) is a major contributor to the failure of LDL-C goal attainment. Several factors have been identified as contributing to LLT nonadherence, including healthcare disparities due to socioeconomic status, age, race, sex, and cost; limited access to healthcare; perceived side effects associated with LLT; health literacy; and the presence of comorbidities. Suboptimal LLT use has also been associated with clinician factors, including failure to identify patients who require LDL-C reassessment, insufficient LDL-C monitoring, and clinical inertia such as a lack of therapy intensification. Several strategies to enhance LLT adherence have been shown to be effective, including the implementation of educational initiatives and tools for both patients and physicians, the use of clinical protocols and algorithms to identify patients at risk and optimize treatment, and improvements in electronic healthcare records. Pharmacy-based programs designed to help patients with prescription refills, including reminders or the use of prescription delivery by mail, have also proven effective. Drugs requiring frequent administration can represent a barrier to treatment adherence; therefore, newer, more effective LLTs with lower frequency of administration and lower potential for polypharmacy may improve patient adherence to LLT. Implementation of strategies to identify patients at risk for LLT nonadherence and the use of flexible tools such as telemedicine to overcome geographical barriers may improve LLT adherence.
