摘要

Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability. Effective treatment and management require seamless integration across the healthcare and social care interface. Cooperation and collaboration between professionals, patients, and caregivers are needed. This chapter elaborates on the Dutch Knowledge Network of Stroke Services (KNCN). The network supports the stroke services through several activities focused on quality measurement and quality improvement of integrated stroke care, i.e., benchmark of quality indicators, healthcare standard stroke care, knowledge broker network, self-evaluation tool, audit instrument, screening for impairment at home, and shared decision-making.
