Integrated Approach of care
The integrated approach of care for Cardiomyopathy requires diagnosis of the heart failure, counseling and the standard therapy management. The approach will focus on the community outreach where Mr. P will get treatment and care in his home with minimal clinic visits. In most cases, the healthcare provider will deliver care through home visits and making calls as well as sending e-mails. The integrated approach of care will aim at meeting both the short and long term outlook to reduce the severe damages that Mr. P currently experience.
