The post-acute care trajectory of stroke survivors is influenced by factors other than patient characteristics and needs. Despite recommendations by AHA/ASA and supporting empirical evidence, stroke survivors with moderate to severe impairments do not receive acute rehabilitation services.
The majority of stroke survivors require the assistance of a family caregiver however, this caregiver is often not included as a key member of the care team and is often unprepared to assume the caregiver role. Nurses providing acute care to stroke patients often do not have a good understanding of post-acute care services. Family caregivers needs are often not assessed or adequately addressed.
Through the education provided in this presentation, we hope that stroke survivors will receive the appropriate post-acute care services in the appropriate care settings based on needs. and family caregivers will be adequately prepared to meet the needs of stroke survivors post-discharge.
Learning Objectives
- Examine transitions of care across the stroke continuum and their impact on optimizing patient outcomes
- Describe the role of family caregivers in care transitions
