摘要:

This article describes the evolution of a Community-Based Stroke Risk Screening and Education Program at a 400-bed regional medical center located in southeastern Alabama. The author outlines the implementation of a case management-oriented program developed to target the specific high-risk populations residing in this rural area. Retrospective chart reviews were used to identify a large discrepancy between patient-recognized onset of stroke symptoms and the actual time it took for the patient to present to the Emergency Department (ED). A performance improvement goal was initiated to increase community awareness of stroke warning signs, stroke risk, and prevention. Summaries of the research process, design, and outcome data overwhelmingly indicated a positive correlation between stroke education and ED presentation time.

摘要:

The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of a patient teaching protocol related to hypertension on patient and staff satisfaction in a rural community healthcare clinic. The rationale for this study was based on the positive relationship between staff and patient satisfaction highlighted in the literature. The literature also indicates that the implementation of a protocol can increase both patient and staff satisfaction. This study reinforces the positive relationship between patient and staff satisfaction in a rural setting. It also suggests a protocol may enhance patient and staff satisfaction.
