Article Synopsis
- Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is effective post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but it isn't utilized enough; a liaison-mediated referral (LMR) may help increase participation by informing patients about CR's benefits before they leave the hospital.
- In a study of over 9,000 PCI patients, those who received an LMR had a significantly higher participation rate in CR sessions within 90 days of discharge (43.1% vs. 32.4%).
- The LMR group not only participated more but also started their CR sessions sooner, indicating that this referral method could effectively enhance patient outcomes after PCI.
The present study sought to identify predictors associated with paid employment outcomes for community and technical college students with intellectual disability (ID). Data used were collected from the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students With Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) implemented in two community and technical colleges in the upper Midwest. The participants included 228 students with ID attending college who received supports based on the Check & Connect model.
