This is the whole problem in stroke enumerated in one word; 'care'; NOT RECOVERY!
Our non-existent stroke leadership should be demanding RECOVERY NOT 'CARE'!
My god, anyone in the business world would be fired immediately for managing or caring about something rather than delivering RESULTS. And this is why this is a complete fucking failure! This does nothing to guarantee recovery for survivors!
If your hospital is touting 'care' it means they are a failure because they are delivering 'care'; NOT RECOVERY! I would never go to a failed hospital! Anytime I see the word 'care' associated with a stroke hospital; I immediately think fucking failure!
YOU have to get involved and change this failure mindset of 'care' to 100% RECOVERY! Survivors want RECOVERY, NOT 'CARE'!
I see nothing here that states going for 100% recovery! You need to create EXACT PROTOCOLS FOR THAT!
ASK SURVIVORS WHAT THEY WANT, THEY'LL NEVER RESPOND 'CARE'! This tyranny of low expectations has to be completely rooted out of any stroke conversation! I wouldn't go there because of such incompetency as not having 100% recovery protocols!
RECOVERY IS THE ONLY GOAL IN STROKE!
GET THERE!
Evaluation of the SLS CHARTER care model to support post-stroke care continuity and employment
Scientific Reports , Article number: (2025)
Abstract
The Stroke Life Support Central Health Alliance, Registry & Technology Enabled caRe (SLS CHARTER) Programme addresses stroke patients’ rehabilitation needs through timely evaluation and intervention, but it has not been evaluated. This study evaluated the programme’s outcomes over 6 months. The primary outcome was Post Stroke Checklist (PSC) usage per SLS participant. For the final analysis, 206 SLS and 55 control participants from a public healthcare institution in Singapore were included. Secondary economic outcomes included healthcare utilisation and return to work (RTW). Multivariate analyses, adjusted for demographics and clinical factors, used gamma-log link and Poisson regression for healthcare utilisation, and logistic and Cox regression for RTW outcomes, to evaluate associations with intervention status. PSC usage increased from 50.5% 1-month post stroke to 86.9% 6-month post stroke; mean utilisation rose from 1.76 to 4.25. SLS participants reported longer lengths of stay (LOS) in certain rehabilitation institution and less day care(NOT RECOVERY!) visits. Additionally, there was varying RTW for different patient subgroups. Our findings suggest the SLS CHARTER Programme increases PSC usage, which is useful to guide future care(NOT RECOVERY!) coordination programmes. Identification of patients at risk of poorer RTW, for proactive occupational rehabilitation, may help to reduce the economic burden of stroke.
