Development of a flexible rehabilitation concept for a neurological in-patient rehabilitation program after stroke.
CONCLUSION: The evidence-based and consensus-based concept is characterized by being individually and flexibly applicable to the individual patient. In this way, it meets the given demands and fulfils the requirements of a heterogeneous group of patients. It is intended to incorporate the treatment concept into the routine healthcare services offered by the AOK Baden-Württemberg. In addition, the treatment concept will be the basis for the development of performance-based remuneration.

Budget impact of botulinum toxin treatment for spasticity after stroke — a German perspective
ConclusionThe botulinum toxin therapy is associated with additional costs, but an increased use of botulinum toxin would be consistent with guideline-based therapy. In particular, it has to be considered that spasticity as a chronic condition is accompanied by a relevant loss of quality of life. Thus, considering only the therapy costs may not be sufficient for making final therapeutic decisions.

Discharge Huddle Outfitted With Mobile Technology Improves Efficiency of Transitioning Stroke Patients Into Follow-Up Care
Disjointed patient care is a well-documented problem in health care systems, often stemming from poor communication between providers, services, and follow-up care resources. A multidisciplinary discharge huddle, augmented with cellular and tablet technology, was implemented on the Neurology Stroke Service to facilitate multidisciplinary communication, improve transition of patients, and increase referrals into affiliated follow-up care. After initiating the huddle, patient length of stay decreased by 1.4 days (25%), patient flow into continuum partners increased by 10%, and the number of patients going without services af...
