This report is a brief practical problem-based guide to support clinical
management in the implementation of early home-supported discharge as an
integrated part of stroke care. However, it is clear that skilled members of a
multidisciplinary team are needed and they need to work in a coordinated manner.
Services vary considerably between countries and regions ; therefore, the involved
parties in the baseline services may vary considerably.
This needs to be
considered when planning early home-supported discharge services. Patient
selection criteria cannot be precise; however, patients who can benefit most are
likely to have moderate stroke severity and may be able to cooperate with
rehabilitation in the home setting. Staffing requirements will vary according to
several factors. These will include (a) the severity and complexity of stroke
impairments, (b) the current level of community support, (c) the duration of
rehabilitation input, and (d) the rehabilitation targets planned.
