Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Newport Hospital’s Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center earns CARF re-accreditation through 2029

 

So what? Celebrating processes or 'care' rather than recovery is not what survivors want. Tell us how many of your patients 100% recovered and then we might decide you are a decent hospital. Until then, NOTHING DOING! Anyone who touts standards/'care' and NOT RECOVERY! IS A COMPLETE FUCKING FAILURE!

I couldn't find any stroke standards at the CARF website - http://www.carf.org/home/
so with nothing public, this is completely fucking worthless. Because if this is all just doing processes with no measurement of results, then useless. 

Newport Hospital’s Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center earns CARF re-accreditation through 2029

One of only six inpatient rehab centers in New England with stroke specialty accreditation, VRC has been continuously accredited since 1979

Brown University Health’s Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center at Newport Hospital has earned re-accreditation from CARF International, extending its recognition through June 30, 2029.

The accreditation covers VRC’s Adult Inpatient Rehabilitation Program and Adult Stroke Specialty Program. CARF — the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities — evaluates programs against rigorous standards related to patient care, outcomes, leadership, and organizational performance. VRC is one of only eight CARF-accredited adult inpatient rehabilitation centers in New England and one of only six with stroke specialty accreditation. The center has been continuously CARF accredited since 1979.

“This reaccreditation reflects the exceptional commitment of our Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center team to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care(NOT RECOVERY!),” said Melissa J. Fournier, director of inpatient rehabilitation services for Brown University Health.

Tenny Thomas, MD, president and chief medical officer of Newport Hospital, noted that VRC’s patients include those recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury, and other complex, life-altering conditions. “The exceptional outcomes achieved by our high-acuity rehabilitation patients reflect both the expertise of our interdisciplinary team and our commitment to providing individualized, evidence-based care(NOT RECOVERY!),” he said.

Newport Hospital is a 129-bed nonprofit acute care(NOT RECOVERY!) facility affiliated with Brown University Health, founded in 1873. More information about the Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center is at brownhealth.org.
