Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of disease burden worldwide. Referral to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a classI recommendation for all patients with CAD based on findings that participation can reduce cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, as well asimprove functional capacity and quality of life. However, programme uptake remains low, systematic progression through the traditional CRphases is often lacking, and communication between health care providers is frequently suboptimal, resulting in fragmented care. Only 30%to 50% of eligible patients are typically referred to outpatient CR and fewer still complete the programme. In contemporary models of CR,patients are no longer treated by a single practitioner, but rather by an array of health professionals, across multiples specialities and healthcare settings. The risk of fragmented care in CR may be great, and a concerted approach is required to achieve continuity and optimise patientoutcomes. ‘Continuity of care’ has been described as the delivery of services in a coherent, logical, and timely fashion and which entails 3specific domains: informational, management, and relational continuity. This is examined in the context of CR.
