Collaborative Study to Reduce Length of Stay and Improve Transitions of Care for Stroke Patients at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital & JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
For stroke patients, early initiation of therapy typically yields the best functional outcomes. Rehabilitation of stroke patients immediately after hospitalization minimizes deleterious effects of immobility and facilitates restoration of function. The investigators are testing if coordinated efforts between the medical and rehabilitation disciplines may improve stroke patient's functional recovery and subsequent follow-ups after discharge.
