New stroke rehabilitation certification to help improve care at skilled nursing facilities
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability in the U.S. and approximately 795,000 people each year experience a new or recurrent stroke, according to the American Heart Association.
A new certification offered by the American Heart Association, the world’s leading voluntary organization focused on heart and brain health for all, can help skilled nursing facilities support faster and more effective recovery from stroke through standardized coordination, adherence and implementation of evidence-based care.
The new Skilled Nursing Facility Stroke Rehabilitation Certification provides a framework for evaluating skilled nursing facilities against the Association’s rigorous science-based requirements for stroke rehabilitation, including program management, patient and caregiver education and support, care coordination, clinical management and quality improvement.
