Stroke Core Measure Nursing Education

In partnership with our West Florida Division facilities, please review the below attachments for Stroke Core Measure nursing education.  Evidence based stroke care encompasses not only clinical aspect of the care provided, but also how well we document care provided in the medical health records. The chart audits identified an opportunity with a few areas of stroke care, such as:

• Documentation of VTE prophylaxis (see Nursing units RN Stroke orientation slide 23)
• Patient’s discharge Stroke education with individualized risk factors
• Neuro checks and NIH documentation
