Driven to some extent by the COVID-19 pandemic, programs redirecting patients from inpatient postacute care services, such as skilled nursing facilities or inpatient rehabilitation, to in-home rehabilitation solutions have expanded in number and in the scope of services provided.1 Available research suggests that this shift satisfies patients’ preferences to remain at home while also delivering comparable patient-centered outcomes.2 The advantages to patients are clear but from a payer...

Community richness and composition can impact how an ecosystem functions, responds to disturbance and is resilient to climate change (Gaüzère et al. 2015, Barros et al. 2019, Aquilué et al. 2020). Point counts are a typical method for measuring avian communities because they are accurate, cost-effective and do not require specialized permits or equipment (Hutto et al. 1986, Ralph et al. 1995, Costello et al. 2000).

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an important recommendation for patients who are recovering from a heart attack, heart failure, or cardiac condition that required medical treatment or surgical intervention. CR enhances the quality and length of life for these patients through a combination of physical activity, behavior change, and social support delivery over 36 sessions. Therapists help patients understand how to adapt their lifestyle to be cardioprotective and prevent future events.
