What happened?
Jordan Raynor, MD, shares how Reid Health secured six straight prestigious awards in stroke care and what others can learn from this rural health system.
Key facts from the source
- It belongs to the emergency department nurse who triaged the patient, the CT tech who ran the CT scanner, the pharmacist, the physician who made the decision, the emergency room physician, the teleneurologist,” he added.
- Those challenges include patients waiting too long to call for help, longer transportation times for emergency medical services (EMS), and fewer options for things such as outpatient rehabilitation, specialist follow-up, and pharmacy access.
- Get with the Guidelines provides hospitals and health systems with research-based standards from the AHA and American Stroke Association.
- The challenge is building a system that removes every unnecessary step between the patient arriving and the treatment being given." That is why Reid Health's stroke care model begins before a patient even arrives at the hospital.
- In a rural health system, the pre-hospital phase of stroke care is enormously consequential,” he said.
Why this matters in U.S. healthcare
FDA actions involving drugs, biologics, therapies, or safety warnings can influence treatment options, prescribing information, access, monitoring, and manufacturer responsibilities.
Who may be affected?
Patients, prescribers, pharmacists, hospitals, health plans, manufacturers, and specialty practices may be affected depending on the product and indication.
What to watch next
- Read the FDA announcement and product labeling or safety communication.
- Watch for indication, eligibility, safety, supply, or access details.
- Look for payer and clinical-guideline updates after the federal action.
- Do not treat a news summary as prescribing guidance.
