Is 70% Achievable? Hospital-Level Variation in Rates of Cardiac Rehabilitation Use Among Medicare Beneficiaries
The treating hospital plays a key role in facilitating CR enrollment after discharge. Fewer than 1% of U.S. hospitals achieved a risk-standardized CR enrollment rate of >70%. Hospitals with cardiac surgery capability care for more than 90% of all CR-eligible patients and may be a logical place to focus improvement efforts.
