What research is needed to determine the most effective models of postacute care to address risk factor control and secondary stroke prevention in stroke survivors?
More research is needed to determine the most effective models of postacute care to address risk factor control and secondary stroke prevention in stroke survivors. This research should include studies on the most effective transitions of care strategies for secondary stroke prevention, health systems based interventions that address simultaneous control of multiple risk factors for secondary stroke prevention, interventions to improve care access and to mitigate the impact of lack of insurance on poststroke risk factor control and secondary stroke prevention, and studies to evaluate the impact of decision support tools and telemedicine on poststroke risk factor control and secondary stroke prevention.
