Introduction: Evidence-based rehabilitation and secondary prevention interventions improve post-stroke functional recovery and reduce secondary complications. However, stroke rehabilitation expertise, processes of care, and educational resources vary among sites where post-acute care (PAC) is delivered. Purpose: The American Heart Association (AHA) developed quality standards based on the AHA 2016 Guidelines for Adult Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery to address these gaps. Methods: An interdisciplinary PAC standards writing committee identified key areas for PAC: quality improvement, medical management, care coordination, patient/caregiver and personnel education, and program management. Subgroups developed draft standards, combining results from a national landscape survey of PAC sites with clinical practice guidelines. The committee then refined the draft standards using a consensus-based process. AHA staff and PAC sites in Montana (MT) convened a learning collaborative to gather feedback and provide gap analyses of the standards relative to current practices. Qualitative input from beta testing in MT, and quantitative results from the nationwide survey and MT sites were analyzed and used to refine the standards further. Results: The national landscape survey demonstrated that most sites do not meet the proposed standards: stroke program oversight structure (78% fall short), stroke rehabilitation leadership (70%), stroke-specific order sets/protocols (61%), and policies requiring staff stroke education (66%). Regarding MT findings, 41% of the PAC sites have no mechanisms to identify areas of quality improvement specific to their stroke rehabilitation programs, and 59% do not use standardized tools to ensure performance improvement initiatives are followed. However, with adequate support and resources, most MT sites stated they would be able to meet the proposed standards. Conclusions: The Stroke PAC Program Standards are applicable in diverse PAC settings and provide a pathway to improving access to ... |
