Due to the high incidence rate, high mortality rate, high disability rate, high recurrence rate and many complications of stroke, patients are easily re-admitted after discharge, which seriously affects their quality of life. A scientific and standardized discharge plan can ensure continuous medical care for stroke patients, reduce readmission rates, and improve patient outcomes, which is of great significance for reducing the burden of stroke. This paper reviewes the development and connotation, the nursing model and the implementation status of the discharge planning among stroke patients at home and abroad, and makes recommendations on the opportunities and challenges of implementing the stroke discharge plan, in order to provide a reference for scientific and standardized stroke disease management.
