Healthcare IT News: Success with Virtual CR

Healthcare IT News writer Bill Siwicki reports on the success that health systems have had in reaching new patients in need via virtual cardiac rehab programs. This allows for access in rural communities and those that would not otherwise attend a facility program.

"Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. Allowing patients to continue their recovery at home can slow this rising cause of death."
