Abstract 7: Health Care System Re-Design to Achieve Universal Access to Cardiac Rehabilitation Services: Implications for Population Health and Health Policy [Session Title: Assessing Care to Change Outcomes]

Conclusions: The adoption of a HCS-I-CRP was extremely successful: referrals actually exceeded the capacity of LCB-CRPs and enrollment, unfortunately, had to be capped. Despite this, statistically significant, population level health benefits were observed. We anticipate that adoption of a province-wide HCS-I-CRP, initiated and buttressed by provincial policy, would achieve near universal access to CRP and population health benefits similar to or greater than those reported here.
