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.

Cape Cod Hospital Earns National Awards For Stroke Care

 

Big fucking whoopee.

 

 But you tell us NOTHING ABOUT RESULTS. They remind us they 'care' about us multiple times but never tell us how many 100% recovered.  You have to ask yourself why they are hiding their incompetency by not disclosing recovery results. ARE THEY THAT FUCKING BAD?

Three measurements will tell me if the stroke hospital is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?  I would start cleaning the hospital by firing the board of directors, you can't let incompetency continue for years at a time.

There is no quality here if you don't measure the right things.

  1. tPA full recovery? Better than 12%?
  2. 30 day deaths? Better than competitors?

  3. rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?

 

You'll want to know results so call that hospital president(Whoever that is) 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:

Cape Cod Hospital Earns National Awards For Stroke Care

Cape Cod Hospital has been recognized nationally for achievement in stroke care with awards from the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program, a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.

Cape Cod Hospital was awarded the Coverdell Award for achieving "door to CT within 25 mins from arrival for at least 75 percent of stroke patients," as measured by the Coverdell Program and announced by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

To earn this recognition, which was offered for the first time in 2020, Cape Cod Hospital met the timing and percentage measures for all patients who were eligible for alteplase treatment and arrived at the hospital via emergency medical services. In addition to the measurements of the award, Cape Cod Hospital also achieved the additional recommendation to engage EMS agencies in quality improvement activities aimed at improving this measure.

To earn the Coverdell System of Care Partnership Award, Cape Cod Hospital established a formal partnership, including a memorandum of understanding, with EMS and post-acute care facilities for quality standards of care.

Cape Cod Hospital also earned the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's Gold Get With The Guidelines Plus Quality Award, an advanced level of recognition for hospitals who meet quality measures for 24 consecutive months or more including dysphagia screening, stroke education, intensive statin therapy and time to IV thrombolytic therapy.
