Deans' stroke musings: Cheyenne Regional Medical Center receives national award for stroke care

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Cheyenne Regional Medical Center receives national award for stroke care - Cheyenne, WY

Worthless puffery. Nothing on results, survivors don't care about care they want RESULTS - 100% RECOVERY.
Who the hell cares about 'guidelines' or 'care'? We want to know results you lazy fucking idiots.
1. Nothing on 100% recovery statistics.
2. Nothing on 30-day deaths compared to other hospitals.
3. Nothing on the efficacy of their stroke rehab protocols.
4. Nothing on tPA full efficacy.
5. Nothing on their misdiagnosis percentage of strokes, especially young strokes.
Guidelines prove nothing.
You'll' want to know results so Call that interim Chief Executive Officer(

Patrick Madigan)

general number (307) 634-2273 and demand to know what the RESULTS are; tPA efficacy, 30 day deaths, 100% recovery, misdiagnosis percentage.
Big fucking whoopee.

Cheyenne ― The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association recently presented Cheyenne Regional Medical Center (CRMC) with the Get With The Guidelines^®-Stroke Silver Quality Achievement Award.
Get With The Guidelines-Stroke is a national program that encourages participating hospitals to follow the most up-to-date, evidence-based stroke guidelines, with the goal of speeding recovery and reducing death and disability for stroke patients. Started in 2001, Get With The Guidelines programs, focus on heart and stroke care.
Hospitals receiving the silver-level award must achieve 85 percent or higher adherence to Get With The Guidelines-Stroke core standard levels of care for at least 12 consecutive months.
Guidelines-based care for stroke patients includes the aggressive use of medications such as clot-busting and anti-clotting drugs, blood thinners and cholesterol-reducing drugs, preventive action for deep vein thrombosis and smoking cessation counseling.
The award recognizes the center’s commitment to delivering advanced stroke treatments to patients quickly and safely, said Carol Rieser, CRMC’s administrator of Specialty Services. She said that the award validates the CRMC’s stroke care team’s “intensive focus” on providing the latest scientific-based treatments for stroke patients to help them achieve the best possible outcomes.
“In presenting this award, the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association are recognizing Cheyenne Regional Medical Center for its commitment to stroke care,” said Paul Heidenreich, M.D., M.S., national chairman of the Get With The Guidelines Steering Committee and Professor of Medicine at Stanford University. “Research has shown there are benefits to patients who are treated at hospitals that have adopted the Get With The Guidelines program.”
According to the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association, stroke is the fifth-leading cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States. On average, someone in the U.S. suffers a stroke every 40 seconds, someone dies of a stroke every four minutes and nearly 800,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.
“The Get With The Guidelines program is so valuable because it helps hospitals put proven knowledge and guidelines to work, on behalf of patients, on a daily basis,” said Rieser. “Because while it’s an honor for our hospital and clinical team to receive this award, ultimately this award is about doing our utmost to save lives and improve the quality of life for the stroke patients we treat. This award is really for them.”
