There is much apparent hesitation in cardiac rehab program leadership to pilot innovative, value-based change ideas into our programs. This Rapid-Fire session will review how one small program experienced radical quality and fiscal improvements by simply altering and tweaking several innovative potential applications to meet the needs of the current healthcare landscape, while utilizing the program's specific strengths. With a very slim staff and restricted resources, this program applied Group Intakes, "See U in 7", "See U in 14", Formal Group Education Sessions, Dietician Involvement, Multiple Directors, Daily Huddles, and an innovative Phase III started at an area gym.

Learning Objectives

• Each attendee will develop understanding of the need to incorporate value-based changes into every cardiac rehab program.
• Each attendee will gain insight into the possible need to alter general change ideals and will cultivate insight into creative ways to incorporate these quality changes in his/her program.
• Each attendee will gain understanding of the link between quality changes and improved financial standing for cardiac rehab programs.
• Each attendee will gain motivation to pilot several quality change ideas into programs with confidence of positive patient results as well as positive business results.
