Oh god, useless chest thumping again. But they do 'care'.
Big fucking whoopee.
Three measurements will tell me if the stroke hospital is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?
- tPA full recovery? Better than 12%?
- 30 day deaths? Better than competitors?
- rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?
Absolutely NOTHING about results.
The latest here:
Hue Central Hospital’s stroke center given WSO’s Platinum Status, Vietnam
The
stroke center at the Hue Central Hospital in central Thua Thien-Hue
province has been recently given Platinum Status by the World Stroke
Organization (WSO), the hospital announced yesterday.

The
prestigious WSO award is for stroke centers around the world meeting
strict requirements in training, equipment, and the treatment of acute
strokes, among other matters.
The assessment process is conducted by the local competent agency
and the two international agencies. The committee of Stroke Association
will have final decision.
The Hue Central Hospital is one of the three hospitals in Vietnam to be so awarded.
WSO Angels Awards recognize hospitals that have demonstrated clear
commitment to quality stroke care and have established cultures and
systems to support continuous improvement.
To achieve the levels “Gold Status”, “Platinum Status”, and
“Diamond Status”, the following criteria must be fulfilled registration
criteria met, percent of patients treated with door to recanalization
therapy time less than 60 minutes, percent of all suspected stroke
patients undergoing CT or MRI imaging procedure
Hospital Director Professor Pham Nhu Hiep shared that in the next
time, the hospital’s stroke center will strive for gold status of WSO
with the aim to improve treatment and emergency quality contributing to
its growth.
Presently, the Southeast Asian country has average 200,000 fresh
stroke cases per year with more than 11,000 deaths. Moreover, over
100,000 Vietnamese people suffer disabilities because missing out on the
golden period of stroke treatment leaves many permanently disabled.
When a hospital in Vietnam gets the Platinum status, it means the
country has applied advanced treatment techniques like their peers in
the world.
The hospital has met seven criteria of the Platinum status
including at least 75 percent of patients treated with door to
recanalization therapy time less than 60 minutes; at least 85 percent of
all suspected stroke patients undergoing CT or MRI imaging, at least 85
percent of atrial fibrillation related stroke patients discharged with
anticoagulants; minimum 85 percent of Ischaemic stroke patients
discharged with antiplatelets and minimum 85 percent of all stroke
patients undergoing dysphagia screen.
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability
worldwide and is responsible for 116 million years of healthy life lost
each year. The impact on individuals, families and society is
incalculable.
