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.
-
tPA full recovery? Better than 12%?
-
30 day deaths? Better than competitors?
rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?
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.

up on the guidelines yourself.

T.J. Samson Community Hospital receives national recognition for stroke care
GLASGOW, Ky. – T.J. Samson Community Hospital has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines – Stroke SilverPlus quality achievement award.
According to a release by T.J. Regional Health, the hospital earned the award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines.
T.J. Regional Health says this can help lead to more lives saved and reduced disability.
The release states stroke is the number five cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S.
A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts, according to T.J. Regional Health. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, so brain cells die, making early stroke detection and treatment highly important.
Get with The Guidelines – Stroke is an in-hospital program aiming to improve stroke care by promoting consistent adherence to guidelines, which can minimize long-term effects or prevent death.
“T.J. Samson Community Hospital is committed to improving patient care by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” stated Brandon Dickey, executive vice president – director of nursing. “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. The end goal is to ensure more people in south central Kentucky can experience longer, healthier lives.”
Each year, program participants qualify for the award by showing how their organization has committed to providing quality care for stroke patients. In addition to following treatment guidelines, Get With The Guidelines participants also educate patients to help them manage their health and recovery at home.
