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.

Falmouth Hospital Receives Stroke Care Awards

SO FUCKING WHAT? 'CARE' NOT RESULTS Do stroke hospitals think we are that fucking stupid that we don't notice that this report tells us nothing about the quality of their stroke department? I would have everyone in this stroke hospital fired, we have to start clearing out all the dead wood in stroke. 

Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie, 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. 
Politeness will never solve anything in stroke.

HYANNIS – Falmouth Hospital is being recognized for its stroke care.
The hospital recently received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get with the Guidelines Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award, along with Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Defect-free Care Award from the Paul Coverdell National Stroke Program.
The Get With The Guidelines award recognizes the hospital’s commitment and success in ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines. To receive the Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award, hospitals must achieve 85 percent or higher adherence to all Get With The Guidelines-Stroke achievement indicators for two or more consecutive 12-month periods, and achieve 75 percent or higher compliance with five to eight GWTG-Stroke Quality measures.
The quality measures focus on appropriate use of guideline-based care for stroke patients, including aggressive use of medications, such as clot-busting and anti-clotting drugs, blood thinners and cholesterol-reducing drugs, preventive action for deep vein thrombosis and smoke cessation counseling.
“Research has shown there are benefits to patients who are treated at hospitals that have adopted the Get With The Guidelines program,” said Paul Heidenreich, MD, MS, national chairman of the Get With The Guidelines Steering Committee and professor of medicine at Stanford University.
The DPH Defect-free Care Award from the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program recognizes hospitals that, from the period of January to December 2017, provided defect-free care to 90 percent or more of their stroke patients by utilizing all of the interventions for which each patient was eligible. Defect-free care is achieved when a patient receives the appropriate care based on clinical guidelines.
“We are honored to have been recognized by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association and the Department of Public Health with these important awards,” said Michael K. Lauf, president and CEO of Cape Cod Healthcare, the parent organization of Falmouth Hospital. “Our physicians and stroke teams understand that providing the latest and best care as quickly as possible results in better outcomes for stroke patients, and they continually strive to meet this goal.”
(But you have the wrong goal, providing 'care' NOT delivering 100% recovery results.)
