Abstract
The standardized use of laboratory blood tests will promote effective resource utilization, minimize waste, and improve healthcare services. The objective of this work is to develop a set of parameters that constitute essential preconfigured analytical profiles (PAPs) for the clinical management of patients with heart failure. A consensus-driven process was performed among a multidisciplinary team of 7 Spanish healthcare professionals working in hospitals located in different Spanish regions. A total of 6 PAPs were identified, aiming for different objectives: identifying the cause of heart failure (“de novo PAP”); monitoring the patient at various times and scenarios (“Outpatient follow-up PAP,” “Hospital admission PAP,” “Hospital evolution PAP,” “Titration and decompensation control PAP”); and titrating medication (“Drug titration PAP,” “Titration and decompensation control PAP”). The use and implementation of these PAPs by healthcare professionals should facilitate the standardization of patient care and potentially improve clinical outcomes and healthcare resource utilization.
