UNC Health Wayne nationally recognized for 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'

UNC Health Wayne nationally recognized for stroke care

UNC Health Wayne has once again been recognized for exceptional stroke  care(NOT REOVERY!), earning the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines — Stroke Gold Plus quality achievement award and The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Primary Stroke Certification.

The dual recognition underscores the hospital’s commitment to providing the highest standard of  care(NOT REOVERY!) for stroke patients, officials said.

The Get With The Guidelines — Stroke Gold Plus quality achievement award is given to hospitals that demonstrate adherence to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ensuring that stroke patients receive the most appropriate and timely treatment. This is the second consecutive year UNC Health Wayne has received the award, highlighting its continuous efforts to enhance patient outcomes and reduce disability.

UNC Health Wayne also earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval and the American Stroke Association’s Heart-Check mark for Primary Stroke Certification in August 2023. The certification is a symbol of quality that reflects the hospital’s commitment to meeting rigorous performance standards in stroke  care(NOT REOVERY!), officials said.

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a major cause of disability in the United States. It occurs when a blood vessel that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked or bursts, leading to potential brain damage or death. Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving survival rates, minimizing long-term disability, and enhancing recovery.

“UNC Health Wayne is committed to improving patient  care(NOT REOVERY!) by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” said Jessie L. Tucker III, president and CEO of UNC Health Wayne. “Our participation in programs like Get With The Guidelines and achieving certifications such as The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval are part of our dedication to excellence in health care(NOT REOVERY!).”

Heidi Malez, chief nursing officer at UNC Health Wayne, said the awards reflect the medical staff’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, evidence-based  care(NOT REOVERY!) for stroke patients.

“Earning the Gold Plus award and Primary Stroke Certification is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our health  care(NOT REOVERY!) team,” Malez said.

The hospital’s stroke  care(NOT REOVERY!) team focuses on improving patient outcomes through comprehensive treatment plans and patient education, which includes efforts to help patients manage their health and recovery at home, reducing the likelihood of re-admissions and improving overall quality of life.

“We are incredibly pleased to recognize UNC Health Wayne for its commitment to caring for patients with stroke,” said Dr. Steven Messe, volunteer chairperson of the American Heart Association Stroke System of  Care(NOT REOVERY!) Advisory Group and professor of neurology and director of fellowships of neurology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

“Participation in Get With The Guidelines is associated with improved patient outcomes, fewer re-admissions and lower mortality rates — a win for health  care(NOT REOVERY!) systems, families and communities.”
