Measure sets30developed by the ACC/AHA are intended to provide practitioners and institutions that deliver31cardiovascular services with tools to measure the quality of care provided and identify opportunities for32improvement.3This draft document should be considered confidential and has been provided for comment purposesonly.

2017 ACCF/AHA Cardiac Rehab Measure SetConfidential DraftAugust 1, 20171Writing committees are instructed to consider the methodology of performance measure2development (1) and to ensure that the measures developed are aligned with ACC/AHA clinical3guidelines. The writing committees also are charged with constructing measures that maximally capture4important aspects of care quality, including timeliness, safety, effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and5patient-centeredness, while minimizing, when possible, the reporting burden imposed on hospitals,6practices, and/or practitioners.7Potential challenges from measure implementation may lead to unintended consequences. The8manner in which challenges are addressed is dependent on several factors, including the measure design,9data collection method, performance attribution, baseline performance rates, reporting methods, and1011incentives linked to these reports.The ACC/AHA Task Force on Performance Measures (Task Force) distinguishes quality12measures from performance measures. Quality measures are those metrics that may be useful for local13quality improvement but are not yet appropriate for public reporting or pay for performance programs14(uses of performance measures). New measures are initially evaluated for potential inclusion as15performance measures. In some cases, a measure is insufficiently supported by the guidelines. In other16instances, when the guidelines support a measure, the writing committee may feel it is necessary to have17the measure tested to identify the consequences of measure implementation. Quality measures may then18be promoted to the status of performance measures as supporting evidence becomes available.1920Gregg C. Fonarow, MD, FACC, FAHA21Chair, ACC/AHA Task Force on Performance Measures222324251. IntroductionIn 2016, the ACC/AHA Task Force convened the writing committee to begin the process of26revising the existing Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) set that was released in 2007 (2) and for which a27focused update was issued in 2010 (3). The writing committee also was charged with the task of28developing new measures to benchmark and improve the quality of care for patients eligible for CR.4This draft document should be considered confidential and has been provided for comment purposesonly.

2017 ACCF/AHA Cardiac Rehab Measure SetConfidential DraftAugust 1, 20171All the measures included in the measure set are briefly summarized in Table 1 which provides2information on the measure number, measure title, and care setting. The detailed measure specifications3(available in Appendix A) provide not only the information included in Table 1 but also provide more4detailed information including the measure description, numerator, denominator (including denominator5exclusions and exceptions), rationale for the measure, guideline that support the measure, measurement6period, source of data, attribution.7The writing committee has developed a comprehensive CR measure set that includes 9 total8measures, including 6 performance measures, and 3 quality measures as reflected in Table 1 and9Appendix A. The writing committee believes that implementation of this measure set by health care10systems, health care providers, health insurance carriers, chronic disease management organizations, CR11programs and other groups that have responsibility for the delivery of care to persons with cardiovascular12disease will help to enhance the structure, process, and outcomes of care provided to patients who are13eligible for CR services.14151617Table 1.

Scope of the Problem5The recently published AHA Heart and Stroke Statistical report highlights the large number of6patients who are in need of CR each year, including 625,000 patients discharged from U.S. hospitals7following an acute coronary syndrome, 954,000 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary8interventions, 500,000 patients discharged with a new diagnosis of heart failure, and 397,000 who9underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) (4). Furthermore, data from the national10Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project statistics show that over 608,000 patients were discharged with a11primary diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in 2012 with a length of stay (mean) of 4.6 days,12charges (mean) of more than 72,000 per patient stay and an in-hospital death rate of 5.16% (5). More13than half a million patients with coronary atherosclerosis and other heart diseases were treated in hospitals14in 2012 with a length of stay of 3.7 days and associated charges of almost 69,000 (5).15CR is a multidisciplinary, systematic approach to applying secondary prevention therapies of16known benefit. Following a myocardial infarction (MI), CR decreases recurrent MI and mortality rates17based on a meta-analysis of 34 randomized trials (6). Participation in CR programs can also improve a18patient’s quality of life and ability to return to work more quickly (7,8). One study within a community19demonstrated a 10-year absolute risk reduction in all-cause mortality of more than 12% in CABG patients20who participate in a CR program (9). Studies have also found that CR participation is associated with a2120-30% reduction in hospital readmission during the year after a cardiac event (8,10,11).2223Even with the underlying evidence demonstrating the benefits of CR, the majority of eligiblepatients are still not receiving this therapy.2425Analyses show that: Just over 13% of Medicare patients who had an AMI and 30% after a CABG received CR (12).6This draft document should be considered confidential and has been provided for comment purposesonly.

2017 ACCF/AHA Cardiac Rehab Measure Set1 Confidential DraftAugust 1, 2017Certain sub-populations including ethnic minorities, women and those with caregiver-related2responsibilities, multiple comorbidities, limited program access, and inadequate health insurance3coverage are less like to receive rehabilitation (12,13).45Data from the ACTION-Get With The Guidelines registry (2014) (4) on the current ST-elevation6myocardial infarction/non-ST—elevation myocardial infarction measures related to CR continue to7demonstrate an opportunity for improvement with 75.9% of patients with non-ST—elevation myocardial8infarction receiving this referral and 84.5% for those with STEMI. Rates of CR referral are even lower9(approximately 60%) for patients who undergo PCI (14). Similarly, data from the Get With The10Guidelines-Heart Failure registry showed that in patients hospitalized for heart failure (HF), only 10.4%11(12.2% with HFrEF and 8.8% with HFpEF) received CR referral at discharge (15).12Furthermore, in addition to a “referral gap,” an “enrollment gap” also exists in CR—with only13about 50% of patients referred to CR actually enrolling and participating in CR (16-18). In addition,14completion rates of CR are suboptimal (12,18). If CR participation rates were improved to at least 70%, it15is estimated that approximately 25,000 deaths and 180,000 hospitalizations could be prevented each year16(19). For all of the above-mentioned reasons, updating the existing CR measure set has been recognized17as a high priority for the ACC and AHA. Particular attention has been given to the infrastructure and18processes that are most likely to improve CR participation by eligible patients and ultimately improve19patient outcomes. This document serves to reflect those measures that were developed by the writing20committee after comprehensive internal discussion, peer review, and public comment.211.2. Disclosure of Relationships With Industry and Other Entities22The ACC/AHA Task Force makes every effort to avoid actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest23that could arise as a result of relationships with industry or other entities (RWI). Detailed information on24the ACC/AHA policy on RWI can be found at policy. All members of the writing committee, as well as26those selected to serve as peer reviewers of this document, were required to disclose all current27relationships and those existing within the 12 months before the initiation of this writing effort.28ACC/AHA policy also requires that the writing committee chair and at least 50% of the writing29committee have no relevant RWI.7This draft document should be considered confidential and has been provided for comment purposesonly.
