The National Audit of Cardiac Rehabilitation : Annual Statistical Report 2016

Year: 2015

Type: book

Abstract: British Heart Foundation Key recommendations:1. Most CR programmes need to recruit a greater proportion of eligible female patients 2. Heart Failure (HF) patients should be seen as a priority group for CR 3. The mode of delivery of CR should be broader than just group based approaches 4. CR should start earlier for all patient groups 5.The frequency and quality of patient assessment before and after CR needs to improveThe NCP_CR continues at pace with more programmes signing up for certification based on service level criteria.What is clear from this annual report and our NACR data is that 42% of CR programmes are close to meeting all service level criteria, meaning that many programmes could, with relatively small improvements in service delivery, meet the NCP_CR criteria and become certified as high performing services.We wish to thank CR teams for their efforts in the delivery of services to patients and for supplying data to NACR which is essential to achieving our shared aim of high-quality CR.
