Stroke Transitions Across the Continuum: Elevating Team-Based Excellence

As a participant, you’ll be joining fellow professionals from across the stroke recovery continuum—from emergency care through to community reintegration—to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and improve patient outcomes.

Throughout this interactive event, you’ll explore evidence-based strategies to streamline care transitions and reduce fragmentation. Through guided discussions and hands-on exercises, you’ll work with your peers to co-develop practical tools and protocols that you can take back to your clinical settings to enhance care and reduce rehospitalization rates.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

1. Demonstrate interdisciplinary collaboration to improve continuity of care across the stroke recovery continuum. 
2. Identify evidence-based strategies for streamlining stroke transitions from emergency services to community reintegration.
3. Develop actionable tools and protocols that can be implemented in clinical practice to optimize patient outcomes and reduce rehospitalization rates.

In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. University of Nebraska Medical Center is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
