The Canadian Heart Health Strategy and Action Plan: Cardiac rehabilitation as an exemplar of chronic disease management
Abstract
Background: In October 2006, federal funding was announced for the development of a national strategy to fight cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Canada. The comprehensive, independent, stakeholder-driven Canadian Heart Health Strategy and Action Plan (CHHS-AP) was delivered to the Minister of Health on February 24, 2009.
Objectives: The mandate of CHHS-AP Theme Working Group (TWG) 6 was to identify the optimal chronic disease management model that incorporated timely access to rehabilitation services and end-of-life planning and care. The purpose of the present paper was to provide an overview of worldwide approaches to CVD and cardiac rehabilitation (CR) strategies and recommendations for CR care in Canada, within the context of the well-known Chronic Care Model (CCM). A separate paper will address end-of-life issues in CVD.
Methods: TWG 6 was composed of content representatives, primary care representatives and patients. Input in the area of Aboriginal and indigenous cardiovascular health was obtained through individual expert consultation. Information germane to the present paper was gathered from international literature and best practice guidelines. The CCM principles were discussed and agreed on by all. Prioritization of recommendations and overall messaging was discussed and decided on within the entire TWG. The full TWG report was presented to the CHHS-AP Steering Committee and was used to inform the recommendations of the CHHS-AP.
Results: Specific actionable recommendations for CR are made in accordance with the key principles of the CCM.
Conclusions: The present CR blueprint, as part of the CHHS-AP, will be a first step toward reducing the health care burden of CVD in Canada.
HISTORIQUE :: En octobre 2006, le gouvernement fédéral a annoncé un financement pour élaborer une stratégie nationale afin de lutter contre les maladies cardiovasculaires (MCV) au Canada. La Stratégie canadienne de santé cardiovasculaire et plan d’action (SCSC-PA) complète, indépendante et élaborée par les parties prenantes, a été dévoilée au ministre de la Santé le 24 février 2009.
OBJECTIFS :: Les six groupes de travail thématiques (GTT) de la SCSC-PA avaient comme mandat de déterminer le modèle optimal de prise en charge des maladies chroniques qui intégrerait un accès rapide à des services de réadaptation ainsi q’à la planification et aux soins de fin de vie. Le présent article visait à fournir un aperçu des démarches mondiales à l’égard des MCV ainsi que des stratégies de réadaptation cardiaque (RC) et des recommandations en matière de soins en RC au Canada, dans le contexte du modèle de soins chroniques (MSC) bien connu. Un article distinct portera sur les enjeux de fin de vie en MCV.
MÉTHODOLOGIE :: Le GTT se composait de représentants du contenu, de représentants des soins primaires et de patients. On a obtenu l’apport du secteur de la santé cardiovasculaire des autochtones et des indigènes grâce à des consultations individuelles auprès d’experts. L’information propre au présent article provenait de publications internationales et de lignes directrices de pratiques exemplaires. Tous ont discuté des principes du MSC et les ont acceptés. Le GTT a discuté de la priorisation des recommandations et du message global et l’a établi ensemble. Le rapport complet du GTT a été présenté au comité directeur de la SCSC-PA, qui l’a utilisé pour étayer ses recommandations.
RÉSULTATS :: Des recommandations précises en RC, donnant matière à des mesures, sont proposées conformément aux grands principes du MSC.
CONCLUSIONS :: Le présent plan directeur en RC, intégré à la SCSC-PA, constitue une première étape vers la réduction du fardeau des soins de santé en MCV au Canada.
