Community Medical Center Receives National Recognition for Emergency Stroke Care

  I wouldn't go there if all they are offering is 'care'; NOT RECOVERY!

Anytime I see 'care' in any stroke press release I know the stroke medical world is not willing to disclose actual results because they are so fucking bad, it wouldn't look good, so misdirection is used. Don't fall for that misdirection! By touting 'care' they are not telling you about results or recovery which survivors want! Survivors don't care about your 'care'; you FUCKING BLITHERING IDIOTS; they want 100% recovery! Why aren't you providing that?

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 medical world is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?  I would start cleaning the hospitals 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(whomever 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 partnership 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 'care' guidelines yourself. Survivors want RECOVERY not 'care'

Community Medical Center Receives National Recognition for Emergency Stroke Care

July 11, 2024, TOMS RIVER, NJ - Community Medical Center (CMC), an RWJBarnabas Health facility, was one of 39 national hospitals recently recognized by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) for notable achievement in emergency care(NOT RECOVERY!) for stroke treatment. The Toms River hospital was included in the ACEP’s 2023 Emergency Quality Network (E-QUAL) Honor Roll, recognizing exemplary emergency care(NOT RECOVERY!) for stroke or opioid/alcohol use disorder treatment.

Honor roll inclusion for stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) was determined by data demonstrating the hospital’s emergency team’s prompt response and rapid assessment of patients presenting with a possible stroke. Awardees were recognized for arrival to computed tomography (CT) scan time for hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke patients, and door-to-needle time for ischemic stroke patients. CMC was a top performer for median time from arrival to CT scan.

“Community Medical Center is committed to providing all of our patients with the safest, high-quality care(NOT RECOVERY!) possible,” said Patrick Ahearn, Chief Executive Officer, Community Medical Center. “For patients with a possible stroke, that care(NOT RECOVERY!) includes a swift response from our multidisciplinary team of emergency room physicians, emergency medicine residents, a stroke coordinator, clinicians, and technicians. They know how important rapid assessment, diagnosis and treatment of a stroke are to a patient’s recovery, and they have dedicated themselves to ensuring our patients receive prompt and accurate care(NOT RECOVERY!). I’m proud to see their skill and effort recognized on a national level.”

CMC’s Stroke Program has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval, and the academic medical center is designated as a Certified Advanced Primary Stroke Center by the Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.
