Accreditation Check:
There has been increased focus on improving care coordination and transitions across the care continuum, due, in part, to the recent health care legislation focused on improving patient outcomes and reducing costs in post-acute care. In this course, Dr. Barbara Lutz discusses the impact of current U.S. health care policy on transitions of care for patients recovering from stroke, and explores stroke survivor outcomes across different post-acute care settings. She discusses the implications of the Impact Act of 2014 and describes existing transitional care models, with suggested applications to post-acute care for patients recovering from stroke.
