2 Stroke Rehabilitation Stroke continues to be a major cause of premature death and years of life lost. A growing body of evidence is concluding that coordinated stroke rehabilitation programs can reduce mortality rates, morbidity rates, and improve quality of life. Coordinated Stroke Rehabilitation includes input from the stroke survivor as well as providing medical, social, educational, vocational, and caregiver support therapies and services. (Go et al., 2013).

3 Justus-Warren Task Force State Cardiovascular Plan Goal 4 - Increase the proportion of North Carolinians who receive appropriate coordinated management of post-acute transitional care following cardiovascular events. Performance Measure: Number of rehabilitation facilities offering speech, occupational, and physical therapies to stroke patients. Telehealth Objective - Increase the capacity for providing appropriate treatment and services across the continuum of cardiovascular care.

4 N.C. Online Stroke Rehabilitation Inventory (2013) Partnership with the N.C. Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Branch, N.C. Stroke Care Collaborative, participating hospitals, and a UNC-Greensboro Intern in the MPH program. Identify baseline measurements of stroke rehabilitation capabilities. Create a database of stroke rehabilitation contacts to facilitate data reporting in the future.

5 Great Lakes Regional Stroke Network Resource Inventory Great Lakes Regional Stroke Network (GLRSN)- Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin Paper Pencil Survey conducted in

6 N.C. Online Stroke Rehabilitation Inventory Tool Revised by Leigh Hayden, Paige Bennett, and Audrey Foster RED highlights denote changes we made to the GLRSN Inventory Section I - Demographics Section II System-wide Services Stroke Rehabilitation Settings Therapies and Services Section III- Facility-based Services Settings Challenges CARF (Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) Data Linkage Tele-rehabilitation Outcome Measures Clinical Trials and Continuing Education

7 Hospital Contacts Hospital contacts were obtained through a variety of methods. North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation N.C. Stroke Care Collaborative listserv Internet Search Calling and ing hospitals Identified Contacts and Participants had many different job titles. Rehabilitation Directors Stroke Coordinators Clinical Management Personnel Conversations with contacts revealed that multiple departments were often contacted to assist in answering questions in the inventory.

8 Hospital Sample

9 Results Overall participation rate was 75% (n= 77). Participating hospitals represented 87.2% of all stroke discharges in % Participation Rate of CARF Hospitals. 96% Participation Rate among Rehabilitation Hospitals or Hospitals with rehabilitation beds. No significant differences between participating and non-participating hospitals with regards to regional location or participation in a health system. Larger hospitals and hospitals with rehabilitation beds were more likely to respond to the inventory.

10 Rehabilitation Settings 83.1% of hospitals offer stroke rehabilitation services (n=64). 67.2% of hospitals offer rehabilitation services in multiple locations (n=43). Rehabilitation Settings Acute Care Home Health Freestanding Acute Inpatient Long Term Acute Care Facility Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Post-Acute Care Skilled Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit Outpatient Assisted Living Facility Sub-Acute Facility Community Based Stroke Center Community Based Adult Day Community Based Senior Center

30 Inventory Limitations Inventory Limited to Hospitals Unable to obtain a comprehensive list of Skilled Nursing Facilities. Phone Call with partners revealed that the systems used to identify hospitals were similar to those that would be used to identify Skilled Nursing Facilities. Fax was considered the most common form of communication among Skilled Nursing Facilities and thus an online inventory would not be an effective tool for obtaining the information. Timeline for the inventory and workload required did not make it possible to continue the process to contact 405 Skilled Nursing Facilities.

31 Hospital Systems Inventory Limitations Account for 60% of the hospitals in N.C. There were only 10 hospitals that reported as a system for this inventory. Future inventories should be completed by or for each hospital in a system. Gaps and Limitations of Service 16 Counties do not have a hospital. This inventory revealed the services available and barriers to current care providers. Future inventories need to include hospitals that could not provide a contact.
