In the complex world of healthcare, coding is much more than a mundane administrative task. It’s an art form that, when mastered, can unlock significant revenue potential, streamline operations, and ensure the financial health of vital programs—like those dedicated to stroke care. In this blog, we’ll explore the critical role coding plays in maximizing the…
One of Corazon’s Spring 2024 Conference Breakout Sessions offered was entitled “Key Neuroscience Strategic Considerations: When to Elevate Your Stroke Program Beyond Primary Stroke. I had the privilege of speaking with Cory Ferrier, Vice President of Business Development at Adventist Health, Semi Valley and Craig Brubaker, PhD, Vice President, Neuroscience Institute, AdventHealth Orlando. The presentation…
How AI Transforms Stroke Patient Care Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology in the field of healthcare, offering innovative solutions to enhance patient care and outcomes. One area where AI has shown great promise is in the management and treatment of stroke, a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide. By leveraging…
Mechanical Thrombectomy Saves Lives Stroke is ranked as a leading cause of death for Americans according to the most recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). And not only does the burden of stroke cause high mortality rates, but morbidity caused by stroke produces serious long-term disability (Tsao, 2023). Consequently, stroke…
What is Mechanical Thrombectomy? Mechanical thrombectomy, a procedure that uses a device to remove blood clots from a blocked blood vessel, is becoming increasingly important in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. It still remains, however, severely underutilized in 2023. Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and the majority of strokes…
Technology is advancing rapidly in the area of Mechanical Thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion strokes. It was not that long ago that we had no treatment at all for patients who experienced a stroke. The stroke would simply expand, and depending on the amount of tissue damaged and the particular areas of the brain involved,…
Like so many others, I’ve been influenced by the experiences in my life. One such experience has created a serious passion for advancing the treatment of stroke, helping to lead me to my work here at Corazon. Since her stroke several years ago, I’ve watched my mother-in-law deal with severe disabilities. Once a very vibrant,…
