Christ Hospital receives national award for stroke patient treatment - Jersey City, NJ

These are NOT result awards so they don't tell you anything about how good the program is. Call that hospital president(Peter A. Kelly, President & Chief Executive Officer) 

Main telephone number: 877.791.7000

  and demand to know what the RESULTS are; 30 day deaths, 100% recovery, tPA efficacy?
There is absolutely nothing in here that tells me that the RESULTS are better in this hospital than other hospitals. I don't give a crap about how well you do processes.
Big f*cking whoopee.
Guidelines here: You can see how this is nothing to be impressed about. This is all indirect action, not results.

Christ Hospital in Jersey City has been recognized nationally for its work in the field of stroke patient treatment, hospital officials announced.
The CarePoint Health-owned hospital was given the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized guidelines.
"Christ Hospital is dedicated to improving the quality of stroke care and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's Get With The Guidelines-Stroke helps us achieve that goal," CarePoint Health CEO Jeff Mandler said in a statement.
Christ Hospital is one of three CarePoint Health hospitals in Hudson County. The other two are Bayonne Medical Center and Hoboken University Medical Center.
To receive the award, a hospital must achieve 85 percent or higher adherence to all Get With The Guidelines-Stroke achievement indicators for two or more consecutive 12-month periods. Those achievement measures are designed to help hospitals give stroke patients the most up-to-date and efficient treatment.
"We are pleased to recognize CarePoint Health Christ Hospital for their commitment to stroke care,"
(Nothing about results) Dr. Deepak L. Bhatt, the national chairman of the Get With The Guidelines steering committee said in a statement.
"Studies have shown that hospitals that consistently follow Get With The Guidelines quality improvement measures can reduce length of stay and 30-day readmission rates and reduce disparities in care."
