1 Co-designing a cardiac rehabilitation program with knowledge users for patients with cardiovascular disease from a remote area
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs are recognized as effective in reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease. CR programs are offered inequitably and are available in less than 15% of the world’s remote areas. Aim This study was to design a CR program adapted to the contexts of remote areas, in order to improve the service offer for patients. Methods We used an iterative user-centered design approach to understand the user context and services offered in CR in remote areas. We conducted two co-design processes with two advisory committees created in two remote regions, composed of managers (n = 6), healthcare professionals (n = 12) and patients (n = 2). We used the guidelines of CR available at the time of the study (BACPR, 2017) to conceptualise data collection for the development of the CR program. We conducted four cycles of co-design with each of the committees. Qualitative data were analysed iteratively after each cycle. Results The co-design process led to the development of a prototype CR program that is similar in both regions, based on a six-phase care and service trajectory contextualized to remote areas. Participants made structural changes to phases 0, 2, 3 and 4 in order to overcome staffing shortages in remote areas. These changes made it possible to decentralise CR expertise away from specialised centers, to ensure equity of service across the territory. Therapeutic patient education was integrated into phase 4 to meet patients‘ needs. All the participants suggested that three follow-up offers could come from nursing services in order to increase access to the CR programme (primary care, home care, special programmes for chronic illnesses) in patients‘ home communities. Conclusion The co-design process enables us to meet the needs of remote areas in program development. This final program can be the subject of future implementation research.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
