Addressing the social determinants of health (SDoH) to advance health equity for persons with heart failure is a complex endeavor. Best results are achieved in partnership with multiple sectors beyond just the health care industry. We describe the evolution of an academic-practice-community partnership addressing the SDoH to advance health equity for a population of underresourced heart failure patients. Using a bundled approach to care delivery within a nurse-led interprofessional collaborative practice model and cultivating multisector partnerships, we initiated a systematic approach to addressing the SDoH within a heart failure clinic in the southeastern United States. Through our SDoH program, our clinic has improved access to care, medications, and food for our patients, thus advancing health equity and reducing hospital readmissions. Our multisector partnerships to address SDoH and advance health equity provide a foundation to improve population health outcomes for underresourced persons with heart failure. An SDoH program such as ours would not have been possible without strong leadership and collaboration of colleagues from multiple disciplines and sectors. In keeping with the Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity report, we showcase our actions consistent with the report's recommendations.

“…8 By intervening to provide transportation, self-care resources such as blood pressure monitors, scales and pill boxes, fresh produce and dry goods for the food insecure, access to free medications, and help with securing safe housing, patients are able to better manage their heart failure. 11,17,18,27,28,29 Similar to others, [30][31][32] we need to find ways to encourage patients to attend their first appointment and continue to follow-up with us to gain the full benefits of our interventions. 12 We have hired a part-time NP who is fluent in the Spanish language 34 to address the needs of our growing Hispanic patient population.…”

Healthcare disparites exist in cardiovascular care, including heart failure. Care that is not equitable can lead to higher incidence of heart failure, increased readmissions, and poorer outcomes. The Heart Failure Transitional Care Services for Adults Clinic is an interprofessional collaborative practice that provides guideline-directed medical therapy and education to underserved patients with heart failure. Little is known regarding healthcare equity and quality metrics in relation to interprofessional teams. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine if an interprofessional collaborative practice care delivery model can affect access to care and healthcare quality outcomes in underserved patients with heart failure. As evidenced by control charts over a two and a half year period, the Heart Failure Transitional Care Services for Adults Clinic was able to show improvements in access to care and quality metrics results without variation. An interprofessional collaborative practice can be an effective delivery model to address health equity and quality of care outcomes.
