Listen "Episode 4: Post-Stroke Rehabilitation Services"
Episode Synopsis
The healthcare services we receive after having a life-changing experience such as a stroke can deeply impact our long-term recovery. However, across the U.S. research shows that in the acute-care setting there is often a lack of incentivization to improve functional outcomes and a lack of formal guidance for the appropriate dosage of rehabilitation therapies such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology. What do we know about how to best treat patients in this early stage after experiencing a stroke? And further, how can we optimize a healthcare service delivery system to better serve people after stroke? Listen to this deeply informative and eye-opening conversation with researchers and professors Drs. Amit Kumar and Pamela Bosch of Northern Arizona University.
