New Atrial Fibrillation High Impact Intervention Tool
|
Too many people are still living with undetected, high-risk conditions such as high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, and atrial fibrillation (AF).
RightCare
and Imperial Health College Partners have collaborated to develop an
Atrial Fibrillation High Impact Intervention Too

.
The tool supports commissioners to measure the value of identifying and treating patients with AF, including the impact of screening and treatment-based interventions.
Health systems,
supported by their Delivery Partner
, can use this tool as a framework to detect and optimally manage AF in their population, to reduce the risk of AF-related strokes.
