Description
Maureen Markle-Reid and co-authors present a 2023 trial of a virtual care bridge for older stroke patients heading home. The hospital-to-home jump often ends in readmission and lost ground. The program joined care mapping, phone and video visits, monthly team talks, and a web aid built with patients. It served patients over 55 with stroke plus other long-term ills, against usual care.
Ninety patients joined, and most stayed to the six-month mark. The bridge group gained more in body function scores than the control group. Self-care skill and care experience also leaned their way. Readmission risk and costs were tracked as well. A team-based virtual bridge can smooth a hard handoff. Stroke recovery at home gains a tested support shape.
