简要总结
The purpose of this prospective pilot study is to access the feasibility of Transitions of Care Coordinator (TOCC) program, to determine if the use of a TOCC will decrease hospital length of stay (LOS), and determine if utilization of a TOCC will improve patient and family satisfaction. Patients are admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital (MGUH) for primary diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke.
- Access the feasibility of TOCC program
- Determine if the use of a TOCC will decrease hospital length of stay (LOS) in patients admitted to MGUH for primary diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke
- Determine if utilization of a TOCC will improve the satisfaction for family and patient.
详细描述
Study Goals and Objectives
The primary objective of this study is to access the feasibility of TOCC program and to determine if the use of a TOCC will decrease length of stay (LOS) in patients admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital (MGU) for primary diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke and discharged to an acute rehabilitation facility. Secondary objectives for this study include determining if utilization of a TOCC will improve patient and family satisfaction.
Study Design/Setting
This will be a single-center, prospective, randomized pilot study. It will involve patients admitted to the MGUH Department of Neurology stroke service for primary diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke and discharged to an acute rehabilitation facility or home. The study will start after IRB approval. It will end once all required data has been obtained and analyzed. It is estimated that this pilot study will be finished over a three-month period.
