Implication

May inform policies to reduce CR disparities; leaves open whether targeting these factors improves utilization.

Structured PICO

Population

Qualitative study interviewing directors of CR facility programs and presidents of CR state associations in the United States to explore system-level factors affecting CR use.

Exposure

Qualitative telephone interviews exploring the political and cultural environment and technical capacity to secure referrals and convert referrals to enrollment.

Outcome

System-level factors explaining regional variation in cardiac rehabilitation use.

System-level factors such as referral assertiveness, integration within the delivery system, and capacity constraints may explain regional variations in cardiac rehabilitation utilization and represent targets for policy intervention.

Gurewich et al. (2008) studied Cardiac rehabilitation. System-level factors was evaluated on System-level factors explaining regional variation in CR use. Four system-level factors (referral assertiveness, delivery system integration, capacity constraints, and facility relationships) were identified as drivers of regional variation in CR use.
