The timely and effective care measures (also known as “process of care” measures) indicate the percentage of patients who received timely treatments for common conditions, serious medical conditions or surgical procedures.

Heart Failure Care
The adequate treatment for heart failure patients depends on the area of heart affected. The "evaluation of the left ventricular systolic function" is a test that helps health providers determine whether the left side of the heart is pumping properly.

Sample data was collected between 04/01/2014 and 03/31/2015 | Heart failure patients given an evaluation of Left Ventricular Systolic (LVS) function.
