Improving Coordination and Transitions of Care for Stroke Patients With an Attending Nurse: a Comparative Effectiveness Single Center Study Comparing Models of Nursing Care
This study will examine if the attending nurse model will enhance critical patient-centered
elements of care that will in turn improve patient education and shared decision-making,
medication adherence, stroke-related health literacy, and reduce early readmissions to
ultimately yield improved patient quality of life. Our primary objective is to determine
whether the attending nurse model of care improves stroke patients' health at 7 days, 30
days, and 90 days after hospital discharge as assessed through questionnaires.
