Cardiac Rehab Success at UHNM
The Cardiac Rehab service at UHNM went live with Recap Health 6 months ago and it’s been a great success.
To-date, 391 patients have accounts and receive tailored rehab information in videos, produced by the UHNM team. Feedback has been great.
91% of patients registered to use Recap Health say it is very useful or useful
93% rate the content sent via Recap Health to be very useful or useful
The new virtual /face to face ‘blended’ service model has meant the team is projecting savings of £20,000 per year on venue, postage and travel expenses and £17,500 per year of travel time savings. Time that can be redirected at higher value activities.
“Recap has been a fantastic system that works particularly well for rehab and everyone in the team is committed to its ongoing use.” Sonya Lockett, UHNM Cardiac Rehabilitation Service Lead
Work is now underway to assess the impact Recap Health is having on readmission rates for these patients.
“Like earlier evaluation with heart failure patients at UHNM, we’re hoping this readmission data review will demonstrate significantly greater benefits to UHNM than the projected savings from the new operation model alone”. Steve Pashley, Health2Works MD.
