In China, stroke is the first leading cause of death and disability, causing great demands for post-discharge care form communities and other institutions. The transitional care model was regarded as the first choice to solve this problem. The purpose of this study is to analysis the link and difference in different transitional care model and to describe the use of them in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Methodology used was searching the online database including PubMed, Medline, Ovid-Embase and so on and review the articles. There were some mature transitional care models all over the world. However, the concept, framework, interventions and evaluation of the models differed greatly. The use of transitional care model in patients with hemorrhagic stroke was effective in reducing the cost of medical care, increasing the quality of life of patients and caregivers. The transitional care model was effective in stroke patients. It was a connection between the hospital and primary health care institutions.
