2018, Journal of the American Medical Directors AssociationCitation Excerpt :The recent cross-sectional study performed in the Netherlands concerning the treatment of HF among nursing home residents revealed that either the recommended therapy of HF was not prescribed or the dose was inappropriate.21 The fact that nursing home residents with HF did not receive pharmacologic treatment according to the guidelines was also proven in the review of Litaker et al28 and other studies performed in Poland, Sweden, or United States.29–31 Furthermore, Daamen et al21 observed that non-pharmacologic interventions recommended by guidelines were not performed among institutionalized patients despite the fact that the positive impact on symptoms and prognosis of this kind of method was proven.32,33
