Defining Attributes

Definition

The percentage of patients in the Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) Program who received patient self-management education either individually or within a group prior to program discharge.

Numerator

A subset of the denominator representing a number of patients for whom there is documentation of receiving patient self-management education as defined by the CACR Guidelines (see below) before program discharge. Based on the CACR 3rd Edition Guidelines patient self-management education: • Includes an informational component which: 1. Discusses specific health goals; 2. Is personalized; 3. Explains the risks of not changing, the benefits of changing, and seeks to influence outcome beliefs regarding the outcome efficacy of interventions or behavioural changes; 4. Often emphasizes proximal risks and benefits over distal ones; 5. Seeks to heighten self-efficacy concerning possible effective self-regulation of specific behaviours; and, 6. May seek to elicit positive emotions, to increase optimism about the possibility of change, and to heighten the salience of personal experience or other evidence supporting self-efficacy • Is led by professional staff, and not by lay persons, with regular contact between staff and patients. • Can be delivered as stand-alone sessions (which is preferred) or incorporated into other activities. Where the delivery is incorporated into other activities the goals of the education must be clearly defined and delivered. • Education can be delivered in individual or group settings.

Denominator

The number of patients discharged from the CR program in the reference period.
