Approximately one third of stroke survivors require physical rehabilitation to improve their motor and functional recovery (1). Although many strategies have been shown to be effective in promoting recovery after stroke, the uptake of evidence-based practice by rehabilitation professionals across Canada is variable. The aim of this project is to evaluate whether using an implementation intervention promotes use of best practices by rehabilitation professionals and leads to improvements in patient outcomes for individuals with stroke.\n\nThis project is a cluster randomized implementation trial for upper and lower limb interventions. Rehabilitation centres across Canada will be randomized to receive either an outcome-oriented implementation strategy (OOI) to facilitate implementation of the EIPRs or a process-oriented implementation strategy (POI). At the onset, rehabilitation professionals practicing in all centres will receive education in using best practice outcome measures related to stroke rehabilitation. All centres will be assessed for baseline adherence to the EIPRs. Centres in the OOI will receive "usual care" (i.e. passive dissemination of the written protocols and information about outcome measures). Centres in the POI arm will receive a combination of strategies to facilitate EIPR uptake (i.e., use of a local facilitator, practice audits with feedback, reminder systems and educational sessions). Following exposure to the EIPRs, all centres will document adherence to the EIPRs, and patient outcomes as assessed by the measures. An analysis of the costs associated with rehabilitation interventions and the incremental expense of a POI strategy will be undertaken. These data will be used to compare the OOI and POI centres with respect to the level of uptake and implementation of EIPRs and related expenses.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Rehabilitation Hospitals/Research Sites:\n\nInclusion Criteria:\n\n* hospital with designated rehabilitation beds;\n* regularly treats stroke patients;\n* has access to at least one physical (PT) and one occupational (OT) therapist on the health professional team\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Inadequate staffing to administer the outcome measures consistently\n\nPatients:\n\nInclusion Criteria:\n\n* medically stable;\n* stroke with residual disability;\n* requires complex rehabilitation interventions from at least 3 health care professionals, one of them being an OT or a PT;\n* admitted to rehabilitation centre within 90 days of stroke onset;\n* and age \\>18 years\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* having a medical condition that is expected to result in death within 6 months;\n* presence of a serious chronic disabling condition that impacts on either the rehabilitation process or rehabilitation outcomes such as severe arthritis, dementia, Parkinson's disease;\n* active suicidal ideation or symptoms of psychosis"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00359593', 'briefTitle': 'Stroke Canada Optimization of Rehabilitation by Evidence Implementation Trial SCORE-IT)', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Toronto Rehabilitation Institute'}, 'officialTitle': 'Stroke Canada Optimization of Rehabilitation by Evidence Implementation Trial (SCORE IT)', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CSNscore'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'interventions': [{'name': 'Knowledge translation intervention package', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': 'M5G 2A2', 'city': 'Toronto', 'state': 'Ontario', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Canada', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Amanda Hurdowar, MSc', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'Hurdowar.Amanda@TorontoRehab.on.ca', 'phone': '416-597-3422', 'phoneExt': '7859'}, {'name': 'Mark T Bayley, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'Toronto Rehabilitation Institute', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 43.70643, 'lon': -79.39864}}, {'zip': 'H3G 1Y5', 'city': 'Montreal', 'state': 'Quebec', 'status': 'NOT_YET_RECRUITING', 'country': 'Canada', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Sharon Wood-Dauphinee, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'sharon.wood.dauphinee@mcgill.ca', 'phone': '(514) 398-5326'}, {'name': 'Sharon Wood-Dauphinee, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'McGill University', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 45.50884, 'lon': -73.58781}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Amanda G Hurdowar, MSc', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'Hurdowar.Amanda@TorontoRehab.on.ca', 'phone': '416-597-3422', 'phoneExt': '7859'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Mark T Bayley, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Toronto Rehabilitation Institute'}, {'name': 'Sharon Wood-Dauphinee, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'McGill University'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Toronto Rehabilitation Institute', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'McGill University', 'class': 'OTHER'}]}}}
