What are the health equity recommendations for stroke or TIA patients?
In patients with stroke or TIA, evaluating and addressing social determinants of health (eg, literacy level, language proficiency, medication affordability, food insecurity, housing, and transportation barriers) when managing stroke risk factors is recommended to reduce healthcare disparities. In patients with stroke or TIA, monitoring the achievement of nationally accepted, evidence-based performance measures is recommended to allow inequities to be identified and addressed.
