Deans' stroke musings: THE STRATEGY THAT WILL FIX HEALTH CARE

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.

THE STRATEGY THAT WILL FIX HEALTH CARE - Harvard Business Review

This first line is not occurring in stroke health care:

PROVIDERS MUST LEAD THE WAY IN MAKING VALUE THE OVERARCHING GOAL

The crisis in stroke is simple; nothing is available or works. Our providers have been failing for so long they don't even know what the goal is. Only 19 pages that your hospital should be able to implement in the next 50 years. If you want it sooner you'll have to install your own stroke department head.

What's the solution to the world's seemingly intractable health care crisis? It starts with a clear and achievable goal—better value—supported by an innovative strategy that's driven by the needs of patients, not providers. In this Harvard Business Review article, Harvard Business School Faculty Chair Michael Porter and his co-author outline such a strategy. They present a groundbreaking approach to high-value health care that focuses on six components: medical conditions, measurement of costs and outcomes(not done in stroke), bundled pricing, integrated care delivery, geographically expanded service, and an enabling IT platform.
