Sentara(HARRISONBURG, Va) Again Recognized for Quality Stroke Care

Big fucking whoopee.

 

 But you tell us NOTHING ABOUT RESULTS. They remind us they do 'care' about us 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 hospital is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?  I would start cleaning the hospital 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(Whoever 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.
