Cross-Continuum

The recommendations in Section 7 apply across the continuum of stroke care, from symptom onset through short-term recovery. Telestroke is a new recommendation for 2010 and emphasizes the need to use alternative methods to increase access to stroke expertise for all stroke patients. In addition, screening for and management of vascular cognitive impairment and post-stroke depression should be revisited beyond the post-acute recovery phase and return to the community.
