UT Health East Texas Rehabilitation Hospital awarded Gold Seal of Approval for Stroke Rehabilitation Certification

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 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.

UT Health East Texas Rehabilitation Hospital awarded Gold Seal of Approval for Stroke Rehabilitation Certification

 

Tyler, Texas (March 9, 2022) — UT Health East Texas Rehabilitation Hospital has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Stroke Specific Rehabilitation Certification by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.

The certification recognizes health care organizations that provide clinical programs across the continuum of care for stroke patients. The certification evaluates how organizations use clinical outcomes and performance measures to identify opportunities to improve care, as well as to educate and prepare patients and their caregivers for discharge.

UT Health East Texas Rehabilitation Hospital underwent a rigorous review conducted virtually. During the visit, a Joint Commission reviewer evaluated compliance with related certification standards including performance measurement, clinical management and patient education. Joint Commission standards are developed in consultation with healthcare experts and providers, measurement experts and patients. The reviewer also conducted virtual observations and interviews via internet connection.

“Stroke Rehabilitation Certification recognizes health care organizations committed to fostering continuous quality improvement in patient safety and quality of care,” said Mark Pelletier, RN, MS, chief operating officer, Accreditation and Certification Operations, and chief nursing executive, The Joint Commission. “We commend UT Health East Texas Rehabilitation Hospital for using certification to reduce variation in its clinical processes and to strengthen its program structure and management framework for stroke patients.”

UT Health East Texas Rehabilitation Hospital Administrator Laurie Lehnhof-Watts said the certification is a reflection of the outstanding care provided at the rehabilitation hospital.

“The stroke rehabilitation team at UT Health Rehabilitation Hospital was confident in being able to achieve this certification and will continue to enhance and improve the services we provide to patients who have experienced a stroke,” Laurie Lehnhof-Watts said. “We assess our compliance with the American Stroke Association Adult Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery Guidelines to provide best practices for our patients. The team collaborates with The Joint Commission certified Comprehensive Stroke Center team at UT Health Tyler to bring the best acute care and rehabilitative care to patients in the East Texas region.”
