Deans' stroke musings: 28 Arkansas Hospitals Recognized for Stroke Care Performance

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

28 Arkansas Hospitals Recognized for Stroke Care Performance

What a bunch of f*cking lies. This is not recognizing results, this is recognizing doing processes which is a bunch of crap. Everyone involved here would be fired under my watch.
You only focus on guidelines when you can't promote your results. If they were any good at all they would tell you their 30 day death rates, tPA efficacy percentage and full recovery percentage. But YOU are going to have to call the hospital presidents and tell them that this is totally unacceptable. If you don't light a fire under our stroke hospitals your next stroke recovery will be as bad as your current one.
Guidelines here: You can see how this is nothing to be impressed about. This is all indirect action, not results.

The Arkansas Department of Health has recognized 28 hospitals (see list attached above or click here to read) with awards for stroke care performance as documented in the Arkansas Stroke Registry (ASR) between July 2013 and June 2014. The awards were given to hospitals meeting 90 percent or more of the stroke care performance measures(not RESULTS), with at least six stroke patients treated between July 2013 and June 2014.

The performance measures are American Heart Association/American Stroke Association-endorsed quality and achievement measures of the Get with the Guidelines-Stroke Patient Management Tool. The measures are benchmarked according to the standards of evidence-based stroke care guidelines to assure stroke patients receive appropriate and timely care. (not RESULTS)
