(Coordinated, Collaborative, Comprehensive, Family-Based, Integrated, And Technology-Enabled Care): A Comparative Effectiveness Randomized Trial To Improve Stroke Care Delivery

The purpose of the C3FIT study is to learn which is the best way to help stroke survivors in their recovery and what can be done to prevent another stroke from happening. C3FIT's Integrated Stroke    Practice Unit uses team-based, enhanced collaboration (called   Stroke Central) and follows patients from presentation at the   Emergency Department (ED) through 12-months post-discharge  (called Stroke Mobile). Stroke Mobile includes a nurse and lay health educator team who visit patients and caregivers at home or at a rehabilitation or skilled nursing facility to assess function and quality of life using telehealth    technology to facilitate access to multiple providers. Results from C3FIT will provide high quality scientific evidence to determine the    best stroke care design that ensures positive health for patients and   caregivers.
