Citizens Memorial Hospital receives Acute Stroke Ready Center certification from DNV

 

Survivors don't care about your 'care'; you FUCKING BLITHERING IDIOTS; they want 100% recovery! Why aren't you providing that?

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 medical world is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?  I would start cleaning the hospitals 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 certification 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 'care' guidelines yourself. Survivors want RECOVERY not 'care'

Citizens Memorial Hospital receives Acute Stroke Ready Center certification from DNV

Citizens Memorial Hospital has received certification from DNV as an Acute Stroke Ready Center, recognizing its ability to handle strokes and stroke-related medical problems. CMH is also a designated Level III Stroke Center by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.

Through a partnership with CoxHealth, CMH offers 24/7 telestroke coverage. This service connects CMH patients to neurologists at Cox South, the region's only DNV-certified Comprehensive Stroke Center. This allows treatment to begin within minutes of a patient's arrival at the hospital.

The Acute Stroke Ready certified program is especially important for communities where access to a larger hospital may be too far away.

“We know that ‘time is brain,’ and the faster a patient can get to a certified stroke center, the better,” says Sarah Bolton, Time Critical Diagnosis program manager at CMH. “This certification shows that we have the resources and dedication to provide the best possible stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!).”

When a patient arrives at CMH with stroke-like symptoms such as balance issues, vision loss, uneven smile, arm weakness, or slurred speech, emergency room staff act fast. They perform advanced brain scans and consult with neurologists at CoxHealth.

For patients who are eligible, tenecteplace (TNK), a medication to treat blood clots, must be given within a short window of time. Quick action is critical, which is why calling 911 right away when symptoms appear is essential.

“It’s a combination of the right equipment, personnel and training to quickly assess, identify and treat strokes,” Bolton said. “This certification validates the tremendous effort we have put into this program, ensuring the health and safety of our patients.”

The DNV Acute Stroke Ready Certification is based on standards from the Brain Attack Coalition and the American Stroke Association. It affirms that CMH provides initial diagnosis and treatment and, when necessary, quickly transfers patients to a specialized stroke center with a higher spectrum of stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!).

“Achieving certification shows a commitment to excellence,” says Kelly Proctor, president of DNV Healthcare USA Inc. “It helps demonstrate to your community that you are providing the highest level of care(NOT RECOVERY!) that this hospital is designed to offer.”

Stroke is a leading cause of death in the U.S., claiming nearly 130,000 lives each year, according to the American Stroke Association. It also causes serious, long-term adult disabilities. Quick treatment can save lives and limit long-term damage.
