Improving Post-acute Stroke Follow-up Care by Adopting Telecare Consultations in a Nurse-led Clinic
Improving Post-acute Stroke Follow-up Care by Adopting Telecare Consultations in a Nurse-led Clinic During COVID-19 and Beyond: A Hybrid Type 2 Implementation-effectiveness Randomized Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Since 2017, Hong Kong has provided post-acute stroke services in clinics operated by stroke advanced practice nurses (APNs). Currently, the applicability of the clinics has been further limited by the emergence of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic due to restrictions on visits to the clinics and tightened social distancing requirements. Telecare consultations may be a viable option for contributing more flexible, interactive, and cost-efficient care models to support stroke survivors over the longer run. The present study takes advantage of this opportunity by utilizing implementation science to simultaneously implement and evaluate a telecare model of care in a nurse-led post-acute stroke clinic.
