Stroke Data Public Reporting and Outcome

JFK University Medical Center is one of the leading stroke programs in the Central NJ region.  JFKUMC is a state recognized and Joint Commission-certified Comprehensive Stroke Program, which is the highest designation available.  The Stroke Program achieves comprehensive status for its high volume, quality measures, progressive stroke therapies that are available 24/7, and clinical trial opportunities.  JFKUMC utilizes the services of on-site Vascular Neurologist, Vascular Neurology Fellows, Neurology Residents, or Nurse Practitioners to provide emergent evaluation to avoid delays in treatment.  

Clinical Outcomes

JFKUMC publicly reports stroke volume and outcomes according to the Comprehensive Stroke Center requirements.  The following data reflects JFKUMC stroke admission for the past 3 years.  

Overall treatment rates for acute ischemic rates remain low in the United States with approximately 11 percent of all strokes receiving thrombolytic treatment.  JFKUMC continues to maintain and achieve higher treatment rates in comparison to the national rates for Joint Commission CSC facilities.  Another treatment option for acute ischemic strokes is utilizing mechanical thrombectomy.  JFKUMC’s endovascular reperfusion rate utilizing mechanical thrombectomy was 80 percent for 2020. 

Stroke Prevention

Strokes often occur as the result of a blockage in one of the carotid arteries.  In order to prevent a stroke caused by a blocked artery, patients may undergo a procedure to remove the blockage either by carotid artery stenting or carotid endarterectomy.  JFKUMC complication rates are superior to the national benchmarks.
