PURPOSE: Time to travel to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) centers is a barrier to participation, and tertiary referral centers often care for patients living at a substantial distance. We sought to determine the impact of referring eligible patients to CR centers closer to home or workplace on overall participation rate.
METHODS: An observational review was conducted in patients from a large cardiovascular program who were referred to CR (January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2016). Those declining participation due to distance from their home were identified and provided coordinated referral to a CR program they chose near their home or workplace.
RESULTS: Of the 2912 patients referred to CR, 673 (23%) participated and 1900 declined due to distance. Contact was made in 2017 with 1237 of the 1900 of whom 1083 recalled a discussion of distance referral and completed the phone survey. Participants mean age was 64 yr, predominantly White (88%), male (65%), married (66%), and 70% had ≥ comorbidity. Out of the 1083 referred to a local CR program, 78% reported attending. Of those who attended CR, 55% (469/849) would not have attended had they not been referred to a program closer to their home or workplace. Overall participation increased from 23% to >50% of those referred from our institution.
CONCLUSIONS: Coordinating CR referrals from the discharging facility to facilities closer to home or workplace is an effective means for increasing participation. The very low-cost effort has the potential to have a very meaningful impact on the long-term outcome of cardiovascular patients.
