Assessing the quality of cardiac rehabilitation programs by measuring adherence to the Australian quality indicators (vol 22, 267, 2022)

Summary: A survey of 23 cardiac rehabilitation programs in Australia revealed variations in adherence to quality indicators among different types of programs. The completion rate was higher for rural programs compared to metropolitan programs, and telephone-based programs had a higher completion rate compared to face-to-face programs. Pre-program adherence to quality indicators was higher than post-program adherence.
