Three years of the nationwide post-acute stroke care program in Taiwan

Prolonged hospital stay and readmission are prevalent problems for stroke patients in Taiwan after the acute stage, partly due to the unmet need of post-acute care. In March 2014, Taiwan's National Health Insurance Administration launched a nationwide Post-Acute Care-CerebroVascular Disease (PAC-CVD) program. The Taiwan Stroke Society, coordinating 11 allied disciplines, took responsibility for the preparation and implementation of the program. As of June 2016, 6839 consecutive stroke patients were enrolled.
