Abstract

Higher levels of patient engagement are associated with improved patient outcomes, but patient engagement is rarely studied in acute cardiology populations. Promotion of patient engagement during hospitalization after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may play a role in improving cardiac rehabilitation (CR) participation.

Use of a question prompt sheet to promote patient engagement after an acute myocardial infarction

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Higher levels of patient engagement are associated with improved patient outcomes, but patient engagement is rarely studied in acute cardiology populations. Promotion of patient engagement during hospitalization after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may play a role in improving cardiac rehabilitation (CR) participation.
