Abstract 270: Primary and Specialty Care Follow-up Appointments after Stroke: Rates, Variability, and Opportunities for Improvement [Session Title: Poster Session II]

Conclusions: A high proportion of patients with acute stroke failed to have a primary care or specialty care follow-up appointment scheduled prior to discharge and this varied widely across participating hospitals. A collaborative approach for data-driven change and exchange of local best practices and facilitators could lead to significant improvement.
