SHINE Award
SHINE Award – the fast track healthcare innovation award scheme
Lead Sally Singh, Head of Pulmonary & Cardiac Rehabilitation, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust
The incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) is set to rise by 17% by 2014. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recognised as one of the most effective interventions to help individuals with cardiac disease return to a full and active a life, thus influencing the likelihood of a subsequent cardiac event and associated hospital admissions. The government established a target of 85% uptake for the service in the National Service framework for CHD. Data from the British Heart Foundation National Audit 2009 revealed that around uptake was around 30% nationally. There is clearly a need to develop alternative approaches to cardiac rehabilitation.
We propose to develop and evaluate a sophisticated interactive password protected, secure cardiac rehabilitation website ‘Activate Your Heart’ to support individuals with CHD to manage their disease proactively. The website will offer choice for patients in their rehabilitation package. The user will have a tailored programme with access to health care specialists through discussion forums, chat rooms and e-mails. The project will be developed within the cardiac rehabilitation department at UHL.
