Join stroke care providers from EMS, acute care, rehabilitation, outpatient, and community services for an interprofessional conference focused on coordinated, patient-centered stroke management. Through expert presentations, simulations, case discussions, and panels, you’ll explore emerging technologies, mental health and psychosocial needs, rural outreach, population health, and cross-setting communication strategies. Enhance collaboration, teamwork, and care transitions to improve outcomes for stroke survivors and their caregivers.

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

Integrate emerging stroke care technologies into coordinated, interprofessional management plans across the care continuum.
Implement collaborative strategies within interprofessional teams to address the mental health and psychosocial needs of stroke survivors during acute care, rehabilitation, and discharge planning.
Collaborate across disciplines to design equitable and sustainable stroke care approaches that address rural access, population health needs, and reimbursement barriers.
Apply updated American Heart Association Stroke and Skilled Nursing Facilities certification standards to improve cross-setting communication, care transitions, and regulatory readiness derived from case-based scenarios.

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.
