We're one month out from our next webinar! Join us on August 15th at 11:00 AM CT for a thought-provoking webinar on "Asynchronous Care and its Overlooked Importance" in Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR). In this session, we will explore how asynchronous care is revolutionizing patient-centric CR delivery. While all hybrid CR modalities are valuable, asynchronous care stands out for its ability to offer unparalleled flexibility to both patients and CR staff. By allowing individuals to engage with CR materials and activities at their own pace and convenience, asynchronous care addresses the challenge of limited in-person contact time in traditional CR programs. Our discussion will highlight how asynchronous care supports sustainable behavior change by fostering accountability, self-management, and personalized interventions. Despite its transformative potential, asynchronous care often receives less attention compared to other billable modalities in CR. However, its role in driving lasting improvements in patient outcomes and adherence to CR interventions cannot be overstated. Join us to discover how asynchronous care can empower patients and enhance CR outcomes through flexible, personalized, and effective healthcare delivery.

In 2017, among eligible Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries, participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) remained significantly low. Only 29% initiated services, and a mere 8% completed the full prescribed dose of 36 sessions. This indicates that approximately 70% of Medicare beneficiaries missed the opportunity to reap the benefits of CR. The decline in participation from enrollment to completion is particularly alarming, given the substantial dose-response benefits associated with CR. Furthermore, there exist profound and persistent disparities in CR engagement, with women and Non-Hispanic Black individuals experiencing notably lower enrollment rates. Factors such as increased comorbidities, Medicaid eligibility, and greater social deprivation were also associated with decreased odds of initiating rehabilitation.

Calling all cardiac rehabilitation (CR) professionals! Did you miss our most recent webinar? There's still time to catch up with all you missed. Hosts Barbra Fagan, Karen Craig, and Reese Glover, with over 70 years of collective CR experience, shared invaluable insights in our recent webinar, "Let's Level Set: What is Cardiac Rehab." Over the years, many programs have stuck to traditional models that may not align with current best practices. This session aimed to clear up common misconceptions, such as the need for continuous ECG monitoring and the difference between 36 visits and 36 billable sessions. The Chanl Health team discussed modern, flexible approaches to CR, the most effective methods for improving functional capacity, and showcased innovative delivery models that meet the needs of today's patients. Our Q&A sparked lively discussions, with numerous CR leaders actively engaging and asking questions. Don't miss out on this valuable information—refresh your knowledge, enhance your program, and align with the latest standards in cardiac care.

Have a happy Independence Day, from your friends at Chanl Health!

We are not as effective as we can be with cardiac rehabilitation (CR). While CR programs have long shown to improve patient outcomes and reduce readmission and mortality rates, only 20-30% of eligible patients actually participate in standard CR after a qualifying event or diagnosis. This leaves us with the opportunity to reach an additional 70-80% of patients.

There is compelling evidence supporting the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in reducing hospitalizations, mortality rates, and cardiovascular risk factors. It also enhances both quality of life and functional capacity. Moreover, research indicates a dose-response relationship, suggesting that greater participation yields greater benefits. In terms of efficacy, CR outperforms many other cardiovascular disease preventive interventions, including commonly prescribed medications. For instance, only 37 eligible patients need to undergo CR to prevent one death, translating to saving the lives of 27 individuals per 1000 recipients of the program. This number needed to treat is lower than beta blockers, statins, ACE inhibitors, and anti-platelets. Ultimately, CR saves lives.

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a comprehensive, medically supervised program aimed at preventing secondary cardiovascular events and enhancing the overall health and longevity of patients. Those who qualify for the program have experienced a cardiac event or have a chronic cardiac disease. At its core, CR includes lifestyle education, patient counseling, and exercise. The "Traditional Center-based CR Model" is a phrase in which many envision a hospital-based outpatient program that expects patients to attend an onsite class three times a week for twelve weeks, leading to 36 billable visits (the insurance maximum). Typically, CR is delivered by a multidisciplinary team, made up of a combination of clinical exercise physiologists, registered nurses, pharmacists, registered dietitians, psychosocial counselors, and other clinical staff. Ultimately, CR is more than an exercise program, it is a LIFESTYLE program that incorporates all of the "Core Components of CR" into patient care.
