Group enrollment and open gym format decreases cardiac rehabilitation wait times.
Researchers hypothesized that changing from individually scheduled appointments to a group enrollment and open gym format, in which patients were enrolled during group intake sessions and could arrive for subsequent cardiac rehabilitation (CR) sessions any time during open gym periods, would decrease wait times. They found that implementation of a group enrollment and open gym format was associated with a significant decrease in wait times for first CR sessions.
