For American Heart Month, AHRQ Offers New Tools for Expanding Cardiac Rehabilitation Training materials recently developed by AHRQ to help hospitals enroll more heart disease patients in cardiac rehabilitation are highlighted in the most recent AHRQ Views blog. Released during American Heart Month, the blog emphasizes that only about a quarter of eligible patients participate in cardiac rehab despite its potential lifesaving benefits. Additional resources from the Agency's TAKEheart initiative include Tools for Change, a collection of resources to help improve care for patients with heart conditions, and Integrating Cardiovascular Disease Risk Calculators into Primary Care, a guide for assessing patients' risk of a cardiovascular disease event. These efforts complement AHRQ's EvidenceNow: Advancing Heart Health project, an initiative to improve care in small- and medium-sized primary care practices.

Harrison, Ph.D., a senior social scientist in the Center for Evidence and Practice Improvement. |
