UC Davis Medical Center Recognized Nationally for Heart Disease and 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.

In my opinion this cert allows stroke hospitals to continue with their tyranny of low expectations and justify their complete failure to get survivors 100% recovered. Prove me wrong, I dare you in my stroke addled mind. If your stroke hospital goal is not 100% recovery you don't have a functioning stroke hospital.

All you ever get from hospitals are that they are following guidelines; these are way too static to be of any use. With thousands of pieces of stroke research yearly it would take a Ph.D. level research analyst to keep up, create protocols, and train the doctors and therapists in their use. 

If your stroke hospital doesn't have that, you don't have a well functioning stroke hospital, you have a dinosaur. 

Read up on the guidelines yourself.

“What's measured, improves.” So said management legend and author Peter F. Drucker

UC Davis Medical Center Recognized Nationally for Heart Disease and Stroke Care

UC Davis Medical Center has been recognized by the American Heart Association with multiple awards for its commitment to following research-based guidelines for the treatment of heart disease and stroke. The practices ultimately lead to more lives saved, shorter recovery times and fewer readmissions to the hospital.

Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke or heart attack, and heart disease and stroke are the No. 1 and No. 5 causes of death in the U.S., respectively. Studies show patients can recover better when providers consistently follow treatment guidelines.

The awards are part of the Get With The Guidelines and Mission: Lifeline programs run by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. The goal is to help ensure patient care is aligned with the latest evidence- and research-based guidelines.

"UC Davis Health is committed to improving care for heart attacks and strokes across our Sacramento region," said David Lubarsky, vice chancellor of human health sciences and CEO of UC Davis Health. "Our teams are national leaders in terms of delivering the timeliest of care and the very best outcomes. The Mission: Lifeline and the Get With The Guidelines programs are two we have used to highlight our excellence."

This year, UC Davis Medical Center received these achievement awards:

• Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold Plus Award
  • Target: Stroke Elite Plus Honor Roll
  • Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll
  • Target: Stroke Advanced Therapy Honor Roll
• Get With The Guidelines®-Heart Failure Silver Award
  • Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll
• Mission: Lifeline® STEMI Receiving Silver Plus Award

"We are pleased to recognize UC Davis Medical Center for its commitment to caring for those in their community who need cardiovascular care," said John Warner, past president of the American Heart Association and CEO of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. "Hospitals that follow the American Heart Association's quality improvement protocols often see improved patient outcomes, fewer readmissions and lower mortality rates – a win for health care systems, families and communities."
