Sharon Regional Medical Center Recognized 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

Sharon Regional Medical Center Recognized for Stroke Care

WARREN, Ohio — Sharon Regional Medical Center has been nationally recognized for committing to high-quality stroke care through the Get With The Guidelines – Stroke GOLD PLUS quality achievement award.

Stroke is the fifth-leading cause of death and a leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. It occurs when a blood vessel is either blocked by a clot or bursts, leading to a lack of blood and oxygen to brain cells.

The award is given to hospital medical providers working with the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to align patient care with the latest research and evidence-based guidelines.

“Sharon Regional Medical Center is committed to providing the highest quality of stroke care to patients by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” said Dr. Nicholas Abbott, chief medical officer at Sharon Regional Medical Center. “Get With the Guidelines makes it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work daily, which studies show can help patients recover better and faster. The end goal is to ensure more people in the Shenango Valley and surrounding areas can live longer, healthier lives.”

Sharon Regional, part of the Steward Health network of hospitals, is a Joint Commission-certified Primary Stroke Center, specializing in the rapid treatment of stroke patients, including early assessment, rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke emergencies.

In addition, Sharon Regional was recognized with the American Heart Associations’ Target: Type 2 Honor Roll Award, which aims to ensure Type 2 diabetic patients receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care when hospitalized due to a stroke.
