Key informants' perspectives on implementing caregiver programs in an organized system of stroke care.

Conclusions: This study provides initial insight into the potential barriers and facilitators needed to develop and implement stroke caregiver programs. Further exploration of these topics can inform caregiver program development and their implementation into stroke systems of care. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Rehabilitation research needs to demonstrate that caregivers are a unique group in need of support from the health care system. Rehabilitation research needs to contribute to the evidence that caregiver programs can improve patient, caregiver, and health system outcomes. Researchers can enhance caregiver program implementation through collaboration between researchers, stakeholders, and system change champions starting with program development.
