Nurses play a key role in helping patients manage emotional and social health challenges, or psychosocial health, after a stroke, and improved screening and assessment for psychosocial needs are essential to provide optimal patientcare.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ADP9-ADP9, February 1, 2025. Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disabilities and is largely preventable (80%). Evidence indicates that patients receiving care from stroke specialized nurses, including nurse-led stroke prevention, show better outcomes.
Stroke recovery is a challenging process that extends for months after hospital discharge. Issues like cognitive impairment and social determinants of health (SDOH) hurdles often go unrecognized until patients are home. After the stroke, I had new prescriptions, and this was the first obstacle for me.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A122-A122, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Standardized stroke response protocols have been shown to reduce Door to Puncture (DTP) times for Acute Ischemic Strokes (AIS), potentially improving functional outcomes and reducing mortality. This reduction time is equivalent to 22.8
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP15-ATMP15, February 1, 2025. Background:After discharge can be a vulnerable time for strokepatients and their caregivers. Nurse navigators have been utilized in other specialties resulting in positive impacts on patientcare.

Findings provide a roadmap for healthcare systems implementing similar interventions, emphasizing leadership, coordinated care, and robust tracking for program success. The stepped-wedge trial ran from May 2019 to January 2024 across three implementation waves.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP47-ATP47, February 1, 2024. Delivery of clinical education and implementation of hospital-based emergency department (ED) workflows to FSEDs contributes to a successful system of care.

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP57-AWP57, February 1, 2024. Background:In 2004, Kansas City nurses partnered with the American Stroke Association to provide stroke education to health care providers and the community. Over time, the goal shifted to stroke systems of care.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP147-ATP147, February 1, 2025. Background and Purpose:Pneumonia remains a common complication of stroke. A formal dysphagia screening is the first line of defense for these patients. Please complete your swallow screen. The association was socialized via flyers and huddles.
During the event, to take place at the Signia by Hilton Atlanta, innovators will gather in one room throughout the conference, gaining insights into regulatory approvals, clinical trials, market adoption, and the integration of novel technologies into patientcare.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP50-ATP50, February 1, 2024. Though we saw a lower rate of patient issues within 24 hours on the floor in POST (4.3%), the difference was not statistically significant (PRE: 8.0%,p=0.496).Conclusion:Inefficient
What’s more, an increasing shortage of resources – physicians, as well as nurses – is escalating the vast backlog of cardiac care. As we all know, early diagnosis of such diseases is crucial in order to prevent patients from suffering heart failure or sudden death. The incidence of cardiovascular disease is growing rapidly.
