Description: This presentation, recorded at the 2024 Annual Meeting, will provide attendees with a comprehensive deep-dive into the process of establishing the Michigan Cardiac Rehab Network (MiCR). Presenters will detail three action-oriented topics: 1) The formation of MiCR and its resulting collaborative efforts to improve cardiac rehabilitation (CR) utilization through data benchmarking, collaborative learning and development of best practices in CR quality improvement; 2) How MiCR and partners utilized the expertise of providers, patients and strategic advisors to develop highly-adaptable, evidence-based interventions; and 3) MiCR's continued commitment to stakeholder engagement for continuous quality improvement in CR utilization. Each segment will provide audience-members with valuable lessons learned and other key takeaways for successful, widespread implementation. 

Learning Objectives:
1. Describe how to leverage various data sources to empower data-driven decision-making at the local level.
2. Coordinate the development, launch and evaluation of innovative solutions that leverage community partnerships and technology-based interventions.
3. Integrate actionable strategies for engaging stakeholders to lead high-impact quality improvement initiatives at the local level.
4. Demonstrate practical strategies to actively encourage and support patient participation in cardiac rehabilitation.
