The Link to Lower Stroke Care Costs

Today’s consumers are seeking value and care that wraps around their needs to achieve wellness. Payors are a foundational component to addressing those needs and the one component that is a partner with the patient from acute to post-acute and chronic care management.

Stroke care today is fragmented, costly, and does not support the patient’s opportunity to achieve wellness with proactive care management and education. Nor does it support the family and caregiver well-being from the side-effects they incur.

Stroke care, as provided today, can be greatly enhanced to coordinate and offer comprehensive services that proactively addresses patient needs to improve outcomes and reduce total cost.
