(Note: The program may include a traditional CR/SP program based on face-to-face interactions and training sessions or may include other options such as home-based approaches. If alternative CR/SP approaches are used, they should be designed to meet appropriate safety standards and deliver effective, evidence-based services.)DenominatorNumber of hospitalized patients in the reporting period hospitalized with a qualifying cardiovascular disease event/diagnosis who do not meet any of the criteria listed in the denominator exclusion section below.
