| Annotation | Processes of care are a marker for quality care in stroke rehabilitation. The recent National Sentinel Audit on Stroke (Royal College of Physicians, 1998) revealed sub-optimal uptake of desired care processes in the UK. Use of an integrated care pathway (ICP) - as in this randomised controlled trial - can improve uptake of desired care processes, even in specialist stroke settings. (RH). |
