Patient Stroke Education: Standardizing Across the System and Beyond

Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

Use of consistent, culturally appropriate education for stroke prevention and symptoms can improve outcomes. An AACN Clinical Scene Investigation (CSI) team developed a stroke education toolkit including a one page, easy to read tip sheet. Use of the tip sheet across a healthcare system provides consistent education for stroke risk factors, warning signs and need for fast medical care. In this foundational presentation, attendees examine the toolkit and reflect on plans for expanded use.

Objectives

Examine the key components of the Stroke Education Toolkit
Reflect on the challenges of creating education for diverse patients, cultures, and languages and discuss best practice
Summarize the unintended positive outcomes and discuss the current and future projects stemming from the roll out
