Cardiac Rehab Service SOP (S109)
This SOP was drawn up to confirm and clarify the operating procedure for the community cardiac rehabilitation service (CR) This document sets out the standards which, in the view of the patient and professional organisations involved, are required of services to deliver a high-quality community cardiac rehabilitation service for people with cardiovascular disease (CVD) Cardiac rehabilitation is a comprehensive secondary prevention programme of exercise and education aimed at people who have had a cardiac event, cardiac surgery, and heart failure. Research has demonstrated that it helps reduce mortality and morbidity “The evidence base that supports the merits of comprehensive CR is robust and consistently demonstrates a favourable impact on cardiovascular mortality and hospital re-admissions in patients with coronary heart disease” (Anderson et al 2016). The community cardiac rehabilitation service was developed in response to a growing need for more cardiac rehabilitation programmes for a wider range of cardiac conditions which were unable to be accommodated in the acute hospital programmes and to offer a menu of options for delivery of programmes closer to the patient’s own home.
Waiting Well Standard Operating Procedure (S115)
This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been developed to set out the expected clinical standards for DCHS and DHCFT by which we manage our access to services for people who are either not yet receiving a service from a specific team or who are awaiting this intervention. There will continue to be a DCHS and DHCFT policy and procedure due to systems and governance and to refer to the relevant one as appropriate. This SOP is to support the safety and well-being of service users (and those around them) who are waiting to access our services.
