Exciting News Alert! The House Energy and Commerce Committee has just advanced HR 1406, the Sustainable Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Services in the Home Act, as part of the Telehealth Modernization Act! This game-changing bill will extend virtual cardiac and pulmonary rehab services through 2026, ensuring that even more patients can receive the care they need right from home. Huge thanks to all of our amazing advocates for pushing this forward! But we’re not done yet — now, the bill moves to the full House and Senate for approval, and we need your help to get it over the finish line. Let's make this happen! #AACVPR #cardiacrehab #pulmonaryrehab #advocate #patientaccess

Remembering those that lost their lives, those that courageously rushed in to save others, the families that were impacted and all of us in this country we love! What stood out the most that sad day was how we all cared for each other, the deep compassion of one Nation. Come together today (and every day), reach out to those you love, be kind to one another and NEVER FORGET! #godblesstheUSA #wearemorealikethandifferent #bekind #neverforget

In March 2020, everything changed… COVID reared its ugly head and dramatically reduced non-essential outpatient services including cardiac rehabilitation (CR), many shutting down completely with an incomplete recovery. In fact, one study found that 220 CR facilities closed between 2019 and 2021. As you can imagine, the pandemic made our access, capacity, and patient barrier problems even worse. Now more recent estimates suggest that our already low participation rates are even lower today given disruptions caused by the pandemic.

Prior to the blow of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had made some great strides to address the issue of low participation rates in cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Here's a high-level recap! Million Hearts, a national initiative led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), was launched in 2012 to prevent one million acute cardiovascular events over five years by addressing key cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Recognizing the importance of CR for secondary prevention, the Million Hearts Cardiac Rehabilitation Leadership Summit was held in November 2015. Strategies for increasing CR referrals and participation were discussed, and ultimately, it led to the adoption of the 70% participation target that was set for Million Hearts 2022. This goal has driven many of the subsequent initiatives. In collaboration with the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), Million Hearts developed the Cardiac Rehabilitation Change Package (CRCP) in 2018. This tool provides evidence-based strategies for hospitals and CR professionals to improve referral, enrollment, participation, and adherence rates in CR. Additionally, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded four projects to boost CR participation, including home-based and hybrid CR models. Results from these trials are forthcoming. In 2018, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) launched the “TAKEheart” initiative, incorporating two Million Hearts-recommended strategies: automatic, opt-out electronic health record referrals and care coordinators to educate and facilitate CR referrals. Also in 2018, the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Performance Measures introduced new CR performance measures. Subsequently, Million Hearts collaborated with the National Committee on Quality Assurance to develop CR enrollment measures for the 2020 and 2021 Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS).

To add to the complexity of program capacity in cardiac rehabilitation (CR), even the existing number of programs would be insufficient to serve all eligible people. This quote here comes from Dr. Randall Thomas of Mayo Clinic, “If we filled every cardiac rehabilitation program in the United States to full capacity, plus 10%, we could only serve about 45% of eligible patients. We’d need to have a 1-year waiting list.” Think about the implications of a one year waiting list for a moment. The data suggests that for every day a person waits to start CR, that person is 1% less likely to enroll.

Outside of systematic barriers, patients face a vast amount of barriers to attending and completing an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program. On a personal level, patients may not complete rehabilitation due to the costs and/or the time needed to participate in the program versus returning to work and other personal commitments (ie, work conflicts, familial obligations, travel distance far from CR site, lack of transportation to CR site, co-pays resulting in $720 to $1800 of out-of-pocket costs, limited CR sites and locations, parking and access is troublesome, uncomfortable exercising with others, perceived lack of importance) Check out chanlhealth.com to discover how Chanl Health removes patient barriers. #patientbarriers #cardiacrehab #pulmonaryrehab #cardiovasculardisease #heartdisease #healthcareinnovation #hybridrehab

Staffing constraints in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) pose significant challenges for managers striving to increase enrollment, engagement, and completion rates while improving staff productivity. With limited time, capacity, and resources, managers face the daunting task of accommodating more patients within existing constraints. This pressure underscores the need for creative solutions to optimize workflow efficiency without compromising patient care. Despite efforts to enhance productivity, insufficient insight into potential areas of improvement persists due to the lack of programmatic and patient-level reports. Without comprehensive data and analytics, managers struggle to identify trends, assess performance metrics, and implement targeted interventions. Overcoming staffing constraints requires a focus on fostering a culture of continuous improvement, investing in staff training, optimizing resource allocation, and leveraging technology to improve data collection and reporting capabilities, ultimately enhancing the overall quality and impact of CR programs.
