Healthcare Pioneers Report 2021: Showcasing best practice in AF
The AF Association’s Healthcare Pioneers Report 2021 is now available. Each year, the Healthcare Pioneers Report showcases the most innovative approaches to detecting and managing atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim is to provide models of best practice that other centres, across the globe, can adapt to improve the care and quality of life with people with AF.
The 11 Healthcare Pioneers in this year’s report include: the use of digital technologies to Detect AF in non-healthcare settings; multidisciplinary approaches to optimise anticoagulation to Protect against AF-related stroke; and harnessing the power of cardiac rehabilitation to Perfect the patient care pathway.
