This means absolutely nothing because it doesn't tell you a damn thing about recovery results. It just is conscience laundering for this stroke hospital, allows them to act like they are doing something without doing a damn thing useful for real 100% recovery. Hope they don't have a stroke and are sent to their hospital because nothing in their hospital gives any indication that they get stroke survivors recovered. They talk about care and a stroke support group which is a clear indication they don't know how to get you recovered.
Maury Regional gets quality approval seal as Advanced Primary Stroke Center
MAURY REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Maury Regional Medical
Center (MRMC) recently earned the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of
Approval® and the American Heart Association/American Stroke
Association’s Heart-Check mark for certification as an Advanced Primary Stroke Center. The Gold Seal of Approval® and the Heart-Check mark both represent symbols of quality from their respective organizations.
“This
recognition highlights the exceptional stroke care we provide here at
Maury Regional Medical Center,” said Maury Regional Health CEO Alan
Watson. “I commend all our physicians and staff members, led by Chest
Pain Center and Stroke Program Coordinator Brenda Bishop, for their
demonstrated commitment to the quality and compassionate care that made
this distinction possible.”
Maury
Regional Medical Center underwent a rigorous onsite review in December
2018. Joint Commission experts evaluated compliance with stroke-related
standards and requirements, including program management, delivery of
clinical care and performance improvement.
“We
congratulate Maury Regional Medical Center for achieving this
designation,” said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer of the American
Heart Association/American Stroke Association. “By adhering to this very
specific set of treatment guidelines Maury Regional Medical Center has
clearly made it a priority to deliver high-quality care to all patients
affected by stroke.”
At Maury
Regional Medical Center, board-certified neurologists, Emergency
Department nurses and Critical Care Unit nurses are specially trained
in stroke patient care. Maury Regional Medical Center also offers comprehensive stroke rehabilitation — including occupational, physical and speech therapy — as well as a monthly Stroke Support Group for those who have experienced a stroke along with their families, caregivers and friends.
Stroke is the number five
cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the U.S. On
average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds, someone dies of a
stroke every four minutes and 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent
stroke each year.
Established
in 2003, Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers is awarded
for a two-year period to Joint Commission-accredited acute hospitals.
The certification was derived from the Brain Attack Coalition’s “Recommendations for the Establishment of Primary Stroke Centers” and the “Revised and Updated Recommendations for the Establishment of Primary Stroke Centers.”
The facilities of Maury Regional Medical Center, Lewis Health Center, Marshall Medical Center and Wayne Medical Center are
all accredited by the Joint Commission, a status recognized nationwide
as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to
meeting certain performance standards. In addition to its recognition
for stroke services, Maury Regional Medical Center specifically holds
accreditation status from the Joint Commission in the areas of advanced
inpatient diabetes, total hip and total knee replacement, heart failure
and sepsis. Learn more at https://bit.ly/2BslpeT.
