Die ambulante Versorgung von Schlaganfallpatienten aus Sicht von Hamburger Hausärzten - eine explorative Studie

Abstract

The care of stroke patients is not only the responsibility of a single group of professionals, but is a rather complex task involving different health-care professionals. The rehabilitation process and the interdisciplinary cooperation need to be further analysed to ensure a good cooperation between health-care professionals and to improve the quality of ambulatory care for stroke patients.

Post-stroke care after medical rehabilitation in Germany: a systematic literature review of the current provision of stroke patients

“…Only half of the treatment recommendations from clinical physicians for outpatient care have actually been carried out a year after patients completed their medical rehabilitation [10] and have returned home. In 2008, Barzel et al gathered general practitioners’ points of views on the topic of follow-up care and found that the problem in outpatient care originates during inpatient care [14]. …”

“…This should be included in outpatient care, as stroke is such a complex disease that patients often need therapy from several different medical disciplines [13]. According to general physicians (GPs), stroke patients are not well prepared for their return back home after completing inpatient rehabilitation [14]. This problem has to do with both poor outpatient care provision and partly inpatient care [14].…”

“…According to general physicians (GPs), stroke patients are not well prepared for their return back home after completing inpatient rehabilitation [14]. This problem has to do with both poor outpatient care provision and partly inpatient care [14]. The study by Barzel et al emphasises that stroke patients’ care cannot succeed if carried out by only one occupational group, it rather requires a multidisciplinary approach from different professional groups for the individual patient and his or her specific needs [16].…”

Optimierung der Überleitung von der stationären in die ambulante Gesundheitsversorgung nach Schlaganfall (OpTheraS)

“…Der Übergang von stationärer zu ambulanter Weiterbehandlung nach Schlaganfall in Deutschland wird auch aus der Perspektive der Betroffenen sowie der Leistungserbringer als nicht zufriedenstellend angesehen [3,5].…”

Stroke manager service for improved post-acute continuity of care

“…Furthermore, it is one of the leading causes of adult disability, which results in necessary constant care for a large portion of stroke survivors leaving the major burden on ambulatory care [4]. Since it is an archetype of a chronic disease, advances in post-acute stroke management prospectively have a significant impact on improving the comprehensive chronic care management while decreasing the societal healthcare costs [5,6].…”
