Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The pilot will lead to a valid method for diagnosing heart failure in nursing home residents and more insight in the actual prevalence of heart failure in somatic nursing home residents. Furthermore it will lead to relevant recommendations for improving daily practice of diagnosing and treating heart failure. Ultimately this may result in a better quality of care for nursing home residents with heart failure and contribute to their quality of life (QoL).	—
