Deans' stroke musings: Medical City Fort Worth Earns Kudos for Patients’ Rehab Experience

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.

Medical City Fort Worth Earns Kudos for Patients’ Rehab Experience

What stroke survivor gives a shit about patient experience? That is only measured and reported because their results getting to to 100% recovery are so bad.

Medical City Fort Worth has been named a 2017 Guardian of Excellence Award winner by Press Ganey, a provider of performance analytics and patient experience measurement for healthcare organizations.
The award recognizes top-performing healthcare organizations that have consistently ranked in the 95th percentile or higher for patient experience of all Press Ganey clients during the course of one year. The percentile rankings are based on a formal public reporting system called the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS).
Medical City Fort Worth, a comprehensive stroke center with a specialized neurological intensive care unit, was recognized specifically for patient experience in inpatient rehabilitation. The hospital’s 18-bed comprehensive acute inpatient rehab unit focuses on stroke and neurological rehabilitation.
“Some patients need specialized, skilled care while recovering their strength and function after a debilitating injury, stroke, trauma, or other major health issues,” Medical City Fort Worth CEO Jyric Sims said in a news release. “We are pleased to provide expert rehabilitation care in a supportive and compassionate environment, integrated with the multidisciplinary services of our larger hospital.”
