We can help your organization plan, manage and implement a comprehensive stroke program from the ground up. By engaging with Johns Hopkins on a stroke program build, we will conduct a detailed assessment of your organization’s current stroke operations and develop a strategic roadmap for program implementation, which will include protocols to improve efficiencies and outcomes, and staff training, education and more. Our goal is to position your organization as a leader in stroke care.

Johns Hopkins specializes in preparing health care organizations around the world for certification and accreditation across a range of hospital and ambulatory care categories. We will work with your local team of staff and experts to prepare your organization for stroke certification. We will help you develop new stroke processes and protocols, support preparation, conduct mock surveys and provide onsite as well as remote guidance and support during the real certification survey. Our goal is to help you achieve certification from leading accrediting entities and demonstrate your organization’s commitment to patient safety and quality.

Our leading stroke experts are also experienced educators versed in directing tailored learning activities for our clients — both in person and remotely. Johns Hopkins’ subspecialized stroke experts will train your workforce on the latest tools and techniques to deliver more accurate, timely and precise diagnosis and treatment.

We advise health care systems and government entities on how to organize and allocate stroke care within their system, country or region. This could comprise a hub-and-spoke model — a network consisting of an anchor establishment (hub) which offers a full array of services complemented by secondary establishments (spokes) which offer more limited services — or a model customized to meet the unique needs of your population. Our goal is to increase system-wide efficiencies while reducing stroke mortality, length of stay and long-term costs.

Johns Hopkins stroke experts work with clients to identify, measure and track quality measures, and plan for continuous performance improvement. Our goal is to elevate the quality of our clients’ stroke program to become eligible for stroke center certification.

Our stroke experts collaborate with clients around the world to deliver stroke care beyond traditional face-to-face interaction. We provide stroke teleconsultation to confirm diagnoses, review treatment plans and provide medical second opinions for highly complex cases. We are also proficient in developing and implementing acute telestroke services, enabling our clients’ local experts to connect with Johns Hopkins clinicians in real-time. We can also help clients develop telehealth solutions for post-hospital care, especially the hospital to home transition.

We can help your organization evaluate your current inpatient stroke care and identify innovative ways to implement early recovery techniques that can improve your patient long term outcomes. We will conduct a detailed assessment of your current operational structure and recommend opportunities for optimization of hospital pathways with enhanced clinical programs and technologies.

Whether a high or low resource setting, we can design a unique program and successful implementation plan. Our goal is to assure that your system delivers the highest level of recovery treatments in the early period after stroke and across the continuum of care in order for the patient to achieve the best outcomes.
