About this presentation

This webinar will provide an overview of acute stroke management and unique needs of people with stroke transitioning into the home and community environment. It will open with key highlights from the new Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations, Acute Stroke Management, 7th edition which is set to release in the upcoming months. The needs of people who experience a stroke as they transition from acute care into the home and community environment may change in relation to emotions, activities of daily living, routine, relationships, lifestyle factors and others. This webinar will take a deeper look at those needs and how community organizations can support them. Practical strategies and guidance around the transition from acute care to community living, as well as the roles and responsibilities of health care providers will be explored. Panel members will each share their experiences and perspectives related to this transition, community programs and support and will participate in a panel question and answer session.   

Learning Objectives:

  • Review and describe selected highlights from the new CSBP Recommendations Acute Stroke Management 7th edition  
  • Discuss the needs of people living with stroke and explore how these needs can be accommodated for during and after the transition from the acute setting to the community setting  
  • Describe the roles and responsibilities for health care providers from community-based organizations supporting people living with stroke   
  • Discuss available resources, supports and self-management techniques that are essential for people with lived experience and care supporters to continue recovery.
