Experimental Treatment
Group I: Virtual Cardiac Rehabilitation ProgramExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The NWC platform includes components for education (health library, workbooks etc), collaboration (personal care plan, appointment scheduler, secure messaging system etc), and motivation (motivational messages on their homepage etc). With the Health Coach, participants will engage in: reviews of their risk factor profile and health priorities; goal setting and action planning; problem solving and skill building; and discussions of relapse prevention. Participants will receive a total of seven hours of health coaching delivered across nine sessions over a 26-week period

Following their CR intake, patients are linked with their CMHP Health Coach and attends their visit (in person or over the phone) which includes a comprehensive review of their health history, current symptoms, medications, activity, and individual concerns. Following this visit, participants will receive a total of 10 individualized telephone calls over a 26 week period.
