Stroke care is a journey, not a single episode. Creating an effective stroke system requires a coordinated, patient-centered approach that spans the entire continuum of stroke care, from prevention and early recognition through emergency response, acute treatment, rehabilitation, recovery, and community reintegration.
Join DNV and HCA Florida as we explore how healthcare organizations can build and strengthen an integrated stroke system that supports patients and families at every stage of the stroke journey. This session will examine the critical connections between prehospital care, Mobile Stroke Units (MSUs), acute stroke treatment, inpatient rehabilitation, and transitions of care highlighting how collaboration across disciplines and care settings improves outcomes and patient experiences.
Participants will gain perspectives on common challenges and opportunities across the stroke continuum to advance excellence in stroke care from prevention through lifelong recovery.
