Manage episode 404689482 series 3555959
In this episode, we introduce our listeners to three key role players at Beaumont Hospital - Royal Oak, located in Oakland County Michigan. Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak is a Comprehensive Stroke Center that served 1,319 patients in 2019. Needless to say, that’s a lot. In addition, Beaumont Royal Oak is a participating hospital in the OCMCA Stroke Study. In this discussion, we’re joined by Dr. Rebbeca Grysiewicz, Comprehensive Stroke Program Medical Director, as well as Beaumont Royal Oak’s stroke coordinators Caitlin Woodruff and Wendy Carriveau. They’re here to talk about the value of EMS when it comes to the recognition and treatment of stroke patients. It turns out, EMS has WAYYY more of an impact on the decision-making process a stroke team uses to select a treatment plan for stroke patients. In this episode, our guests will provide us with their perspective regarding the value of EMS and how we can make even more of a positive impact.
The OCMCA Stroke Systems of Care Special Study is rapidly expanding. If you’d like to know more information about the OCMCA’s stroke study, or if your agency or hospital would like to participate, visit OCMCA.org/stroke. There you’ll find all the information you need about the study and how your EMS agency or hospital can participate. You’ll even find study data, as well as a few presentations that you can download. You don’t have to be located in Michigan to participate. The OCMCA would LOVE participants from all over the US help us to identify the strengths and weaknesses of implementing a stroke severity scale, so that we can share the knowledge amongst the entire prehospital community.
