Don’t reinvent the wheel. Understand the stroke certification and re-certification process from experts who have been through it.
Just starting the stroke certification process? Recertifying? Or maybe your hospital is just considering it? The cost of this program could well outweigh the headaches and anxiety you may face preparing for certification and survey day. There have been significant changes in the Joint Commission stroke certification guidelines that you must be aware of and understand in order to meet them.
Listen to accomplished speakers Lori Massaro, MSN, CRNP, and Christine Thompson, RN, BSN, for the this 90-minute audio conference Joint Commission Stroke Certification Update: Comply With Current Guidelines. Both of these professionals have been through the certification process and have maintained or increased their referral base of stroke patients. Put their wisdom to work for your hospital. It could really make a difference in your bottom line and your survey results.
