Summary

Brief Summary This is a pilot study implemented physical activity assessment, promotion and monitoring in patients. Patients will be assessed by the physical activity vital sign (PAVS) during check-in for their appointment. During their visit with the cardiologist, a clinical decision support tool will alert the cardiologist to patients achieving low (<50% of recommended) physical activity. The cardiologist may refer the patient to cardiac rehabilitation if appropriate and/or counsel them to increase their physical activity levels. The patients may opt to enroll in the monitoring phase of the study. They will be given a Fitbit pedometer and their Fitbit account can sync to their MyChart account. After that sync, the patients step counts will be available for their cardiologists to review as needed.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Adults with a physical disability or medical diagnosis limiting their ability to exercise (e.g. wheelchair bound, aortic stenosis, unstable angina)
