Study Arms (2)

Intervention Arm (ATTEND-CR):

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants clinicians receive an informational message about cardiac rehabilitation and the cardiac rehabilitation referral process. Participants who are referred to cardiac rehabilitation receive a phone call post-discharge applying principles of motivational interviewing. The goal is to encourage cardiac rehabilitation attendance.

Behavioral: Clinician-level interventionBehavioral: Patient-level intervention

Usual Care Arm

NO INTERVENTION

Participants receive standard post-MI care without clinician informative messaging or a motivational interviewing phone call from the study team. They may still be referred to and attend CR based on usual clinical practice.

Interventions

Clinician-level interventionBehavioral

The inpatient clinical team receives an EPIC in-basket and email detailing the patient's study participation, benefits of cardiac rehabilitation, and guidance on how to place a cardiac referral if appropriate. If a cardiac rehabilitation referral is not placed within 3 days post-discharge, a follow-up message is sent to one of the patient's outpatient clinician within 4-28 days post-discharge and within 140 days of randomization.
