Implementation of an adherence pharmacy referral protocol for patients taking sacubitril/valsartan.

Background: Heart failure is a prevalent disease state associated with limitations in function, hospitalization, and death. The 2022 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology/Heart Failure Society of America guidelines recommend medications including sacubitril/valsartan to decrease morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure. However, if patients are nonadherent to treatment or experience barriers to care, they will forgo these benefits.
