Stroke is the third most common cause of death in Britain, but despite its medical and economic importance, management of the three facets of stroke--prevention, acute care and rehabilitation--has been unstructured and poor value for money. This article considers how these issues might be more effectively addressed by a pragmatic coordinated approach to the whole problem of stroke in a health authority.
中风是英国第三大常见死因,但尽管其在医学和经济方面都很重要,中风的三个方面——预防、急性护理和康复——的管理却缺乏条理,性价比不高。本文探讨了在一个卫生部门如何通过一种务实的协调方法更有效地解决这些问题,以应对中风这一整体问题。
