Joint Commission Stroke Certification expert analysis of common concerns
Joint Commission Stroke Certification remains a key challenge for hospitals across the country. By becoming a certified stroke center, hospitals ensure not only the quality of their stroke programs, but also that potential stroke patients arrive at their facility and not the hospital down the road.
Listen to HCPro's audio conference as our experts Lori Massaro, MSN, CRNP (UPMC Stroke Institute), and Chris Thompson, RN, BSN, present the 90-minute audio conference Stroke Certification Update: Insight and Answers to Your Joint Commission Challenges. Massaro and Thompson will provide insight and answer your questions about stroke certification. They discuss the most commonly cited issues by surveyors, the most confusing standards and requirements, and will dig deeper into the biggest challenges facing stroke certification centers today.
