AACVPR Program Certification is the only peer-review accreditation process designed to review cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation programs for adherence to standards and guidelines developed and published by AACVPR and other professional societies. AACVPR-certified programs are recognized as leaders in their field because they offer the most advanced, evidence-based practices and care. For the 2020 certification application cycle, programs will be required to provide outcome measurement data and analysis and the utilization of the 2017 AACVPR Performance Measures. This session will provide an overview of each page of the 2020 certification application and insight on how to successfully complete the certification process. Programs seeking AACVPR Certification for the first time and those renewing their certification are encouraged to attend.

1. Attendees will provide an explanation and requirements for each page of the Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation certification application.
2. Attendees will provide an explanation of the AACVPR Performance Measures and Program Certification.
3. Attendees will demonstrate how technology and innovation have impacted Program Certification.
