Somerville, Mass.-based Mass General Brigham will expand the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine’s Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation program through a collaboration with the virtual cardiac rehabilitation platform Recora. 

The BHI-ICR program is one of three Medicare-approved intensive cardiac rehabilitation models in the U.S., according to a Sept. 16 news release from Recora.

“By extending the ICR program through both in-person and virtual platforms, we can reach patients who might otherwise have no access to cardiac rehab, particularly those living in rural communities or healthcare deserts,” Kaavya Paruchuri, MD, clinical operations director for cardiovascular medicine at Boston-based Massachusetts General Hospital, said in the release. “This approach not only broadens access but also has the potential to deliver meaningful improvements in outcomes and quality of life for individuals with cardiovascular disease.”

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
