Abstract:
Primary Stroke Center designation by the Joint Commission distinguishes those healthcare organizations with exemplary stroke prevention and management. However, meeting the Joint Commission's high-level excellence standards is challenging. This article provides nurse leaders with a stroke education template, based on Donabedian's quality model, which meets Primary Stroke Center nurse education requirements. The authors describe the structure, process, and outcomes of a stroke education program for nurses, recognized as Best-in-Practice in Connecticut, successfully implemented in a community hospital.
