Management of the stroke patient in hospital is a complex and highly intricate balance of care that demands physician and nurse attention to a variety of variables that can impact outcomes. 
Research has shown that organized care provided to the stroke patient gives the patient a higher chance of survival, decreased deficits, can return home and regain independence. By using the orders sets and algorithms available, and meeting the performance measures, Sharp HealthCare ensures the highest level of care for stroke patients.
