Discontinuity of Stroke Care in a Black Urban Cohort: Insight from EHR Data.

This poster describes the findings from a study that attempts to characterize an underserved Black stroke cohort who are at risk for discontinuities of care using electronic health record (EHR). Preliminary analysis revealed that 90.1% of the patients were Black. After being diagnosed with a stroke, 57% of the population did not return for follow-up. The objective is to understand the factors contributing to discontinuity of care in Black stroke patients.
