Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

PURPOSE: Despite evidence of the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR), there is wide variability in programs, which may impact their quality. The objectives of this review were to (1) evaluate the ways in which we measure CR quality internationally; (2) summarize what we know about CR quality and quality improvement; and (3) recommend potential ways to improve quality. METHODS: For this narrative review, the literature was searched for CR quality indicators (QIs) available internationally and experts were also consulted. For the second objective, literature on CR quality was reviewed and data on available QIs were obtained from the Canadian Cardiac Rehabilitation Registry (CCRR). For the last objective, literature on health care quality improvement strategies that might apply in CR settings was reviewed. RESULTS: CR QIs have been developed by American, Canadian, European, Australian, and Japanese CR associations. CR quality has only been audited across the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Canada. Twenty-seven QIs are assessed in the CCRR. CR quality was high for the following indicators: promoting physical activity post-program, assessing blood pressure, and communicating with primary care. Areas of low quality included provision of stress management, smoking cessation, incorporating the recommended elements in discharge summaries, and assessment of blood glucose. Recommended approaches to improve quality include patient and provider education, reminder systems, organizational change, and advocacy for improved CR reimbursement. An audit and feedback strategy alone is not successful. CONCLUSIONS: Although not a lot is known about CR quality, gaps were identified. The quality improvement initiatives recommended herein require testing to ascertain whether quality can be improved.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
