After acute treatment of stroke patients, it is an important policy to transfer patients to Post-Acute Care (PAC) for hospital rehabilitation. However, our hospital Post-Acute Care–Cerebrovascular Diseases (PAC-CVD) transferring rate was only 3.2% from January to June 2018. Improvement was thus necessary. The possible reasons for the low transfer rate included complex application processes, insufficient knowledge of PAC-CVD among medical personnel, and lack of adequate propaganda and information systems. To improve the transfer rate, our Discharge Planning Department (DPD), which is exclusively responsible for the project, recruited doctors in each department to join the team meeting. We re-designed the referral process, organized on-the-job education, developed a health education campaign, and established a potential candidate list and online collaborative editing system with the help of cross-team discussion and information system. The transfer rate of PAC-CVD increased to 10.7% from July 2018 to June 2019. This experience can also be extended to other types of PACs. It is recommended to supplement professional consultation with information systems and linkages, as to improve discharge plans and their efficiency. |
