Stroke Center Readiness in the PACU

Our institution is certified as the first Comprehensive Stroke Center in Missouri. This recognizes the commitment of our hospital to deliver complex stroke care to patients in the hospital and the community. During certification there were opportunities noted for improvement. The PeriAnesthesia Care Unit (PACU) collaborated with the neurosciences department to ensure appropriate education for RNs was completed and patient education was completed to prepare for the next survey. Audits of charting were done to measure compliance.
