If we had anything even remotely resembling a great stroke association stroke survivors would know what hospitals can get us 100% recovered. There would be factual information on:
1. tPA efficacy,
2. 30 day deaths,
3. 100% recovery,
4. rehab protocol efficacy.
But we have fucking failures of stroke associations instead doing nothing to solve ANY of the problems in stroke. And we have hospitals professing how great they are at stroke because they are following Get With the Guideline or Joint Commission standards on stroke. Neither of which measures results, just whether they are following processes. You can follow processes 100% and the patient dies, good for the doctor, not so good for the patients. You can't get better at anything unless you measure it. You don't measure processes you measure results.

Now in their 28th year, US News and World Report has revealed their
2017–18 Best Hospitals, and it's the Mayo Clinic topping this year's
list, a feat they also accomplished last year.The Cleveland Clinic
ranked second, followed by Johns Hopkins Hospital third, a step up from
last year's ranking of fourth.The rankings are formulated by analyzing
objective measures such as risk–adjusted survival and readmission rates,
volume, patient experience, patient safety and quality of nursing,
among other care–related indicators. This year, there was an increase in
data, with five years of Medicare data covering more than 60 million
hospitalizations being used to calculate Procedures and Conditions
ratings. In previous years, three years' data was used.For the Best
Regional Hospitals, procedures and conditions ratings, which are based
on completely objective data, were emphasized more than specialty
rankings. US News also modified its measurements so as to not penalize
hospitals for treating low–income patients or for accepting high–risk
cases transferred from other hospitals, US News said in a statement.
Finally, U.S. News refined how it measured patient volume to improve
comparability among hospitals.Also recognized were 535 Best Regional
Hospitals, which were ranked by state and metro based on their
performance in both complex and common care.When it came to specialties,
University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center ranked No. 1 in cancer.
Cleveland Clinic is ranked at the top for cardiology & heart surgery
and Hospital for Special Surgery was first in orthopedics.Here are the
2017–18 Best Hospitals: • Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN • Cleveland Clinic •
Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore • Massachusetts General Hospital,
Boston • UCSF Medical Center, San Francisco • University of Michigan

2017-18 Best Hospitals Honor Roll and Overview
You are completely on your own trying to find the best stroke hospitals. Our fucking failures of stroke associations should have statistics for every stroke hospital so we only go to those that deliver results, not 'care' or 'processes'.
1. Nothing on 100% recovery statistics.
2. Nothing on 30-day deaths compared to other hospitals.
3. Nothing on the efficacy of their stroke rehab protocols.
4. Nothing on tPA full efficacy.
5. Nothing on their misdiagnosis percentage of strokes, especially young strokes.

U.S. News ranks the top 20 hospitals in the nation, plus the best hospitals in each state and metro area.
Somewhere in America, at a pace of about once
per second, a patient checks into a hospital. With more than 33 million
hospitalizations a year and so many patients on whom to sharpen their
skills, hospitals could be expected to meet the most demanding standards
for quality and safety.
Yet too many hospitals fail even those whose
medical needs are relatively straightforward – such as hip replacement,
uncomplicated heart bypass surgery
or removal of a cancerous section of colon. The hospital that makes
treating patients like these its bread and butter is the very definition
of a community hospital, and it should perform at a high standard.
Even fewer hospitals excel at caring for
patients with especially challenging or complex diagnoses, for whom the
stakes may be a matter of life or death. For those patients, venturing
beyond a trusted community hospital to seek care at a truly exceptional
medical center, even one farther from home, may be the wisest option.
To help readers narrow their search for hospitals that best match their needs, U.S. News ranks hospital performance in 16 areas of complex specialty care and also rates hospitals in nine bellwether procedures and conditions such as heart bypass, hip and knee replacement, heart failure and lung cancer surgery.
The Best Hospitals Honor Roll takes both the
specialty rankings and the procedure and condition ratings into account.
Hospitals received points if they were nationally ranked in one of the
16 specialties – the more specialties and the higher their rank, the
more points they got – and also if they were rated "high performing"in
the nine procedures and conditions. The top 20 point-getters made up the
Honor Roll, which has a maximum total of 480 points.
