  1. Cardiac Rehabilitation:Thinking Broadly Professor Geoffrey Tofler19th September 2007

  2. Background • Rehabilitation - a key ingredient for optimal management of the patient with coronary disease and heart failure. • Good hospital community linkage - goal of keeping patients well in the community. • Standards of care - Disease Framework • Models of care may differ

  3. Stents as an Alternative to Lytic Therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction

  4. NSAHS primary angioplasty program • Approximately 3,900 patients treated • Average bed stay 3.2 days versus 7.2 days (lytic) • Cost saving to NSAH $11,000,000 over 10 years. • 200 patients “Field Triage” from 2004 • Mortality 2% at 30 days

  5. Northern Sydney Cardiac Rehab and APAC Collaboration • Provide seamless continuum of care - hospital to home • Facilitate early and safe discharge from the acute setting • Reduce anxiety levels • Improve uptake to cardiac rehab program • Access a wider population by introduction of an alternative home-based model • (Helen Tsakonis, Ann Kirkness, Vanessa Baker)

  6. ACS/PTCA Admission Seen by CR Referred to APAC Seen at home within 24 hrs post discharge Cardiac CNS Physio OT S/W Pharmacist Cardiac Rehab GP Cardiologist

  7. Results of Collaboration • 85% of patients referred by CR seen by APAC (n=319) • Positive trend in CR attendance (50 to 60%) • Lowered anxiety levels • Overall very positive feedback

  9. Assuming addressing cardiac med issues and extra Lasix prevented an admission, 64 x 8 x $600 = $331,000 saved 2005/6

  10. Use of Cardiac Rehab Facilities at Ryde Hospital – Kellie Roach • Cardiac Rehab sessions, includes high risk diabetic patients – 2 sessions /week • Heart Failure – 3 consecutive sessions (Susan Hales) • Pulmonary Rehab – 2/week (Sally Watts) • Joint replacement / orthopaedic (Steven Spinatti)

  11. Collaborative Weight Management for Coronary & Type 2 Diabetics - Ann Kirkness • 70% Cardiac Rehab patients are overweight or obese, and 68% remain so at completion. • Obesity - risk factor for both CAD and Type 2 Diabetes • CR and Diabetic Education Centre to share existing resources and more structured approach to weight. • 33 patients since Sept 2006 • Mean 3.4kg weight loss at 4 months (33%≥5%) • Increase physical activity (72%, 4month; 56%, 8month)

  12. Summary • Patient not service focussed • Work together across different settings and disease stages • Community colleagues • Cardiac Rehab link with medical teams • Involve other specialties • Optimal use of resources
