Mayo Clinic first in Florida to receive national comprehensive stroke center certification

Ok, maybe you are good at processes but that is meaningless if the results are not successful. The results to look at are 30 day deaths, 100% recovery and complete reversal of stroke effects using tPA. If you can't tout these then you are not a very good stroke center.

 I personally believe the Joint Commissions  stuff on stroke is worthless.
You can check out Joint Commission standards here:

I saw absolutely nothing about what should be done the first week or anything about measuring 30-day deaths and 100% recovery or tPA efficacy.
