Geneva General Hospital receives national recognition for stroke care

Anytime I see 'care' in any press release I know the hospital is not willing to disclose actual results because they are so fucking bad, it wouldn't look good, so misdirection is used. Don't fall for that misdirection!

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(whomever 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.

In my opinion this cert allows stroke hospitals to continue with their tyranny of low expectations and justify their complete failure to get survivors 100% recovered. Prove me wrong, I dare you in my stroke addled mind. If your stroke hospital goal is not 100% recovery you don't have a functioning stroke hospital.

All you ever get from hospitals are that they are following guidelines; these are way too static to be of any use. With thousands of pieces of stroke research yearly it would take a Ph.D. level research analyst to keep up, create protocols, and train the doctors and therapists in their use. 

If your stroke hospital doesn't have that, you don't have a well functioning stroke hospital, you have a dinosaur. 

Read up on the guidelines yourself.

“What's measured, improves.” So said management legend and author Peter F. Drucker

Geneva General Hospital receives national recognition for stroke care

The American Heart Association (AHA) has awarded Geneva General Hospital the Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke Gold Plus quality achievement award. The award acknowledges the hospital’s commitment to administering the most appropriate, research-based treatment for stroke patients, a leading cause of death and disability in the U.S. Get With The Guidelines is an initiative by the AHA and American Stroke Association, designed to ensure patient care aligns with the latest evidence-based guidelines for stroke care.

Geneva General Hospital’s adherence to these guidelines aims to minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and potentially prevent death. “Get With The Guidelines makes it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis, which studies show can help patients recover better,” commented Ardelle Bigos, MSN, RN, CMSRN,NE-BC, the Chief Nursing Officer at Geneva General Hospital.

In addition to the Gold Plus award, Geneva General Hospital received two other honors: the AHA’s Target: StrokeSM Honor Roll Elite award, recognizing prompt treatment with the clot-busting drug alteplase; and the Target: Type 2 Honor Roll award for evidence-based care for Type 2 diabetes patients hospitalized due to stroke. The hospital is also recognized as a Joint Commission accredited Primary Stroke Center and a New York State designated Stroke Center, further showcasing their commitment to high standard stroke care.
