Big fucking whoopee.
But you tell us NOTHING ABOUT RESULTS.
They remind us they do appropriate treatment 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.
-
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) 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.

North Shore Medical Center(Miami, Florida.) Earns Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award
American Heart Association Award recognizes North Shore Medical Center’s
commitment to quality stroke care
August 18, 2020 - North Shore Medical Center earned the American
Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The
Guidelines®-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. The award
recognizes the hospital’s commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive
the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized,
research-based guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence.
North Shore Medical Center earned the award by meeting specific
quality achievement measures for the diagnosis and treatment of stroke
patients at a set level for a designated period. 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
“North Shore Medical Center 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 Mark
Racicot, hospital CEO. “Our staff works very hard to take care of our
patients and we use the tools and resources provided to help us track
and measure our success(What the fuck is your success? 100% recovery results? You tell us nothing so you aren't successful by definition.) in meeting evidenced-based clinical guidelines
developed to improve patient outcomes.”
North Shore Medical Center additionally earned the Association’s
Target: Stroke Elite Plus and Stroke Honor Roll Advanced Therapy award.
To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet quality measures
developed to reduce the time between the patient’s arrival at the
hospital and treatment with the clot-buster tissue plasminogen
activator, or tPA, the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration to treat ischemic stroke.
North Shore Medical Center has also met specific scientific
guidelines as a Comprehensive Stroke Center, featuring a comprehensive
system for rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients admitted to
the emergency department.
“We are pleased to recognize North Shore Medical Center 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 readmissions and
lower mortality rates.”
According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke
Association, stroke is the No. 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.
