Thank you,

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

Oak Hill Hospital in West Florida has implemented a C-Diff Algorithm to reduce the incidences of C-Diff. The algorithm will assist in timely and appropriate collection and should be sent to lab with all specimens. Please note, specimens should look like Type 7 on the Bristol Stool Chart and collected no later than Day 3, Day 1 being day of admission. C-Diff is considered hospital onset if specimen is collected on or after Day 4 of hospitalization. Please review provided education handouts and comment with questions.
