Departments of Pharmacy and Emergency Medicine
Beebe Medical Center
Lewes, DE 19958
Objectives:
1) Review current treatment modalities deployed in the Emergency Department (ED) for acute ischemic stroke
2) Discuss existing quality measures for the emergency care of acute ischemic stroke
3) Explore novel treatments that are in the pipeline for stroke care
Course Summary:
A wealth of knowledge and experience in enhancing the quality of health care has accumulated over the past several years. Several organizations have developed stroke quality measures for use in both inpatient and outpatient settings. The purpose of this program is to review acute ischemic stroke care in the Emergency Department, while also discussing the various stroke performance measures. We will look into a correlation between compliance with performance measures and patient outcomes. Finally, we will introduce several new treatment modalities that are in the pipeline for acute ischemic stroke care.

She has completed a 3-year term at ASHP as the chair, vice-chair, and member of the Council on Education and Workforce Development and was fortunate to be a new practitioner member on the Public Policy Council.
