Transdisciplinary stroke assessment: Can it improve allied health efficiency and care on an acute stroke unit? [ 1/1/2021 - 9/30/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description This study will evaluate a new way of effectively delivering allied health assessment on Acute Stroke Units. It will compare current practice (multiple discipline-specific assessments) to a new transdisciplinary assessment (one allied health assessment) on the Mater Hospital Brisbane Acute Stroke Unit. It is anticipated that the transdisciplinary assessment will be more time-efficient, cost-saving, improve quality of care, increase patient/staff satisfaction, and build inter-professional trust.
