Background Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an evidence‐based, guideline‐recommended intervention for patients recovering from a cardiac event, surgery or procedure that improves morbidity, mortality, and functional status. CR traditionally provided in‐center, which limits access engagement, most notably among underrepresented racial ethnic groups due to barriers including cost, scheduling, transportation access. This study designed evaluate the Corrie Hybrid CR, technology‐based,...
Academic medical centers (AMCs) could advance the science of health care delivery, improve patient safety and quality improvement, enhance value, but many have fragmented efforts with little accountability. Johns Hopkins Medicine, AMC under which University School Medicine Health System are organized, experienced similar challenges, operational leadership separate from quality-related research efforts. To unite establish accountability, Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety Quality was...
Abstract BACKGROUND The American Heart Association funded a Health Equity Research Network on the prevention of hypertension, RESTORE Network, as part its commitment to achieving health equity in all communities. This article provides an overview Network. METHODS includes five independent, randomized trials testing approaches implement non-pharmacological interventions that have been proven lower blood pressure (BP). are community-based, taking place churches rural Alabama, mobile units...
Smartphone ownership and mobile app use are steadily increasing in individuals of diverse racial ethnic backgrounds living the United States. Growing adoption technology creates a perfect opportunity for digital health interventions to increase access care. To successfully implement engage users, intervention development should be guided by user input, which is best achieved process co-design. Digital co-designed with active engagement users have potential uptake guideline recommendations,...
Background Guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMTs) improve quality of life and health outcomes for patients with heart failure (HF). However, GDMT utilization is suboptimal among HF. Objective The aims this study were to engage key stakeholders in semistructured, virtual human-centered design sessions identify challenges optimization posthospitalization inform the development a digital toolkit aimed at optimizing HF GDMTs. Methods For sessions, we recruited ( ) clinicians who care...
Introduction: Despite advances in atrial fibrillation (AF) management, patients with AF continue to experience poor quality of life and adverse outcomes. Engagement patients, caregivers, clinicians identify challenges management can inform strategies improve related Methods: We conducted virtual Human Centered Design (HCD) sessions a) their caregivers understand living AF, b) caring for difficulties encountered management. During HCD sessions, we engaged participants answer open-ended...
Introduction: The RESTORE Network is an American Heart Association-funded health equity research network that testing the implementation of evidence-based interventions for hypertension prevention in community settings. goals are to: (1) Work with Black communities to mitigate negative impact social determinants on blood pressure (BP) adults; (2) Develop and test strategies implementing lifestyle communities; (3) Disseminate findings policy makers, payors stakeholders promote adoption...
Introduction: Despite overwhelming evidence that guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) for heart failure (HF) can reduce mortality and improve quality of life, significant gaps in treatment optimization persist. GDMT initiation up-titration are especially critical improving patient outcomes post-hospitalization. Objective: Identify challenges encountered post-hospitalization optimizing HF management by engaging key stakeholders human-centered design (HCD) to guide the development a...
Introduction: Despite overwhelming evidence for improved patient outcomes with Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) after a cardiovascular event, CR participation remains markedly low, especially women and those from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups. Objective: To identify challenges encountered during cardiac recovery by engaging key stakeholders in human-centered design (HCD) sessions to guide development of solutions increase participation. Methods: HCD is methodology that used solve complex...
