Symposium Description
The State-of-the-Science Stroke Nursing Symposium is a forum designed to provide current information for nursing and other healthcare professionals who treat patients and families in all phases of stroke treatment from the emergency department through rehabilitation. The symposium will update and inform the audience about nursing issues along the continuum of stroke care (ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke management, rehabilitation and program development.) The goal of the program is to share innovative best clinical practices that have been developed to optimize patient outcomes throughout the stroke continuum of care. A plenary program and break-out sessions are planned to meet educational needs for nurses and healthcare professionals at various levels of skill.

- Describe evidence-based practices for stroke management and opportunities to better collect and manage outcomes.
- Discuss the mechanism of action, clinical trials, risks and benefits, and appropriate patient selection for recently approved anticoagulants available for stroke prevention and management.
- Implement existing and new requirements for certification as either a primary stroke center or a comprehensive stroke center, with a specific focus on the role of the advanced practice nurse.
- Define elements common to institutions that have successfully reduced their DTN time to less than 60 minutes and opportunities to integrate such approaches into their own institutions.
- Manage evidence-based approaches for stroke and identify opportunities to improve such efforts within their own centers.
- Illustrate opportunities to provide additional support and education for the caregivers of stroke patients, particularly men.
Sponsored by the American Heart Association's Stroke Nursing Committee of the Council on Cardiovascular and Stroke Nursing and co-sponsored by the Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association.
Nursing at the International Stroke Conference In addition to the Nursing Symposium, many sessions will be geared toward nurses and their continuing education at the International Stroke Conference 2013. Nurses are a crucial part of stroke treatment and recovery. We welcome you to join us for the International Stroke Conference 2013; your presence will be valued. |
