Where is the idea of Early Supported Discharge after stroke going?
Journal Title: Rehabilitacja Medyczna - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
In 2009 and in 2012 we published two articles in “Medical Rehabilitation” regarding the development of idea of Early Home Supported Discharge in stroke rehabilitation. Today, omitting the word “Home”, the abbreviation ESD is more popular. The aim of this article is to present the latest developments around the idea of continuing rehabilitation after early discharge from the hospital in a home setting. We primarily focus on the most recent reports, particularly systematic reviews. Each country has its own eligibility criteria which are different for early hospital discharge and follow-up rehabilitation in the place of residence, and sometimes the rehabilitation team staff also differs. So far, studies have shown that the optimal role of the rehabilitation team is coordination and delivery of rehabilitation in a home setting. It is also clear that the ESD model brings tangible economic benefits, mainly by shortening hospital stays. Specific organizational solutions used in different countries depend on cultural traditions, capabilities and financial sources.<br/><br/>
