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.

MCL’s rehabilitation institute awarded stroke certification - Lewisville TX

You'll notice that nowhere in here do they refer to RESULTS.  We don't give a shit about care, care and culture doesn't solve any of the problems in stroke. Call that hospital CEO(La Sharndra Barbarin )admitting number(972) 420-1044 and demand to know what the RESULTS are; tPA efficacy, 30 day deaths, 100% recovery.
Big f*cking whoopee.



The puffery article here:

Medical Center of Lewisville’s (MCL) Rehabilitation Institute earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for its Stroke Rehabilitation Program by demonstrating compliance with The Joint Commission’s national standards for health care quality and safety in disease-specific care. This is the first certified stroke rehabilitation program in Denton County. The certification award recognizes MCL’s dedication to continuous compliance with The Joint Commission’s state-of-the- art standards. “With Joint Commission certification in stroke rehabilitation, we are making a significant investment in quality on a day-to-day basis. Joint Commission accreditation provides us a framework to take our organization to the next level and helps create a culture of excellence,” said Doug Nickles, assistant vice president of musculoskeletal and rehabilitation services.  “Achieving joint commission certification in stroke rehabilitation, for our organization, is a major step toward maintaining excellence and continually improving the care we provide to patients and their families.” MCL underwent a rigorous on-site review earlier this year. A joint commission expert evaluated the Rehabilitation Institute for compliance with standards of care specific to the needs of patients and families, including infection prevention and control, leadership and medication management.
“In achieving Joint Commission certification, Medical Center of Lewisville’s Rehabilitation Institute has demonstrated its commitment to the highest level of care(fucking hey, stop with the care and tell us results) for its patients needing stroke rehabilitation,” said Michele Sacco, M.S., interim executive director, Certification Programs. “Certification is a voluntary process and I commend Medical Center of Lewisville for successfully undertaking this challenge to elevate its standard of care and instill confidence in the community it serves.”
The Joint Commission’s Disease-Specific Care Certification Program, launched in 2002, is designed to evaluate clinical programs across the continuum of care. Certification requirements address three core areas: compliance with consensus-based national standards; effective use of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to manage and optimize care; and an organized approach to performance measurement and improvement activities.
