August 6, 2017 6:41am Bluewater Health is gaining provincial recognition for its performance in stroke care.
The organization has the highest percentage of patients receiving imaging on their necks during their acute stay at nearly 98%.
Regional Stroke Director Paula Gilmore says they also have the lowest
number of alternative level of care days to total length of stay in
acute care at 1.6%.
“Patients who are admitted for strokes are receiving care in the
appropriate location,” says Gilmore. “They’re not waiting in locations
that they no longer require that level of care for. So, they are flowing
smoothly to services such as inpatient rehabilitation, after stroke, or
they’re being discharged home in a timely way.”
Gilmore says it’s important for everyone to recognize the signs of
stroke, which include vision problems, trouble speaking, headache, and
dizziness and call 911.
She says they treat upwards of 200 stroke patients each year.
The numbers are included in the 2017 Ontario Stroke Report Card that was released in June.
