Core* rehabilitation (i.e. the main structured and supervised programme, and including all modes of delivery – Group, Home-based and Hybrid) is deemed complete when:
i) a patient has successfully finished the programme in line with their tailored rehabilitation goals as agreed at Assessment 1
and
ii) as per the BACPR minimum standards, a formal post-rehabilitation assessment (Assessment 2) is recorded. This reassessment should include all relevant components initially identified as part of the patient’s goals.
Such as:
• Lifestyle related risk factors including physical activity status
• Formal exercise capacity/fitness test
• Psychosocial wellbeing
• Medical risk management
Final assessment shall be used to identify any goals that patients are still working towards meeting as well as any newly developed or evolving clinical issues and shall assist the formulation of a long-term rehab plan and any onward referral.
(Core* – includes Core and Phase 3 rehab)
