Big fucking whoopee.
But you tell us NOTHING ABOUT RESULTS. They remind us they 'care' about us 3 times but never tell us how many 100% recovered.
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%?
rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?
You'll want to know results so call that hospital president(Whoever that is) and ask what the RESULTS are; tPA efficacy, 30 day deaths, 100% recovery. Because there is no point in going to that hospital if they are not willing to publish results.
The latest invalid chest thumping here:
MCSA recognized by American Heart Association
The Medical Center of South Arkansas has received the American Heart
Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines-Stroke
Gold Quality Achievement Award.
The award recognizes the hospital’s commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment(NOT GET THE BEST RESULTS!) according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines(NOT PROTOCOLS!) based on the latest scientific evidence. Medical Center of South Arkansas earned the award by meeting specific quality achievement measures for the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients at a set level for over 24 months.
These measures include evaluation of the proper use of medications
and other stroke treatments aligned with the most up-to-date,
evidence-based guidelines with the goal of speeding recovery and
reducing death and disability for stroke patients. Before discharge,
patients should also receive education on managing their health, get a
follow-up visit scheduled, as well as other care transition
interventions.
“Medical Center of South Arkansas is dedicated to improving the quality of care for our stroke patients by implementing the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines-Stroke initiative,” said Amy Triplet, Chief Nursing Officer. “The tools and resources provided help us track and measure our success in meeting evidenced-based clinical guidelines developed to improve patient outcomes.”
Medical Center of South Arkansas additionally received the Association’s Target: Type 2 Honor Roll award. To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet quality measures developed with more than 90% of compliance for 12 consecutive months for the “Overall Diabetes Cardiovascular Initiative Composite Score.”
“We are pleased to recognize Medical Center of South Arkansas for their commitment to stroke care,” said Lee H. Schwamm, M.D., national chairperson of the Quality Oversight Committee and Executive Vice Chair of Neurology, Director of Acute Stroke Services, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts. “Research has shown that hospitals adhering to clinical measures through the Get With The Guidelines quality improvement initiative can often see fewer re-admissions and lower mortality rates.”
According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, stroke is the number 5 cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States. On average, someone in the U.S. suffers a stroke every 40 seconds and nearly 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.
