Implementation Study of Group Metacognitive Therapy in NHS Cardiac Rehabilitation

England's NHS cardiac rehabilitation services delivered 26 courses of group metacognitive therapy to 131 patients across six sites. The study assessed implementation outcomes including uptake, adherence, and data capture via the National Audit of Cardiac Rehabilitation database. Five of the six participating sites met all adoption criteria.

Use Cases

• Analyze patient characteristics and MCT attendance rates from the National Audit of Cardiac Rehabilitation (NACR) database.
• Assess site-level adoption criteria and treatment adherence metrics across the six recruited services.
• Evaluate data capture quality and discrepancies for implementation outcomes like uptake and adherence.

Strengths

• Includes data from 131 patients receiving treatment across 26 delivered courses.
• Reports a high site-level adherence and compliance rate of 86.7%.
• Assesses five specific implementation outcomes: uptake, adherence, data-capture, patient characteristics, and site adoption.

Limitations

• Data is contained within a single 208.9 KB PDF report, limiting direct machine analysis.
• Scope is limited to six early adopter services in England, not the full network of 188 CR services.
• Sample size of 131 patients is modest for broad statistical inference.
