2022 Stronger - PH355 - Bridging Hospitals and Home Care to Support Safe Transitions Home
Optimizing stroke systems of care to bridge home health agencies with acute care hospitals can improve transitions, reduce post-acute complications and improve overall clinical outcomes. Our study discusses the development and success of a comprehensive home care program that shifts more ischemic stroke patients (mild and moderately impaired) safely home after hospitalization, and the corresponding programmatic and functional outcomes, including: (1) an increase in the number of ischemic stroke patients transitioned to home versus inpatient rehab; (2) improvements in functional performance of salient daily activities; and (3) a reduction in 30-day readmission rates among patients discharged home.
Target Audience
- Healthcare Quality Professionals
- Nurses
- Physicians
- Other Healthcare Professionals
Learning Objectives
- Identify three translatable strategies to optimize and support more patients in their return to home after hospitalization.
- Implement best practices used by home health agencies to reduce hospital readmission risk for stroke patients.
