Neuroscience Nursing Team
Our highly specialized Neuroscience Nursing Team is dedicated to providing the highest level of comprehensive care directly to our patients. Our nursing team incorporates a number of leaders with specific roles designed to continually evaluate and optimize neurological care. We focus on a contemporaneous, evidenced-based, program of aggressive quality assurance and continual process improvement.
Our Stroke Program Coordinator plans, puts into effect and evaluates programs within our comprehensive stroke center to achieve the highest quality, patient-focused outcomes.
Our Stroke Nurse Navigator provides individualized assistance to our stroke patients and their families to help troubleshoot and overcome any barriers to their care.
Our Stroke Data Specialists ensures that we have an evidenced based understanding of our stroke outcomes data and examine, summarize, and provide insights into trends arising from the data. This data analysis helps ensure continued process improvement, expediting and improving our ability to care for patients with acute ischemic stroke and brain hemorrhages. We also provide direct feedback to our pre-hospital EMS collaborators as well as our referring hospitals on patients transferred to Stony Brook for emergency treatment and advanced cerebrovascular care.
Our Stroke Accreditation Program Nurse Practitioner ensures that our stroke care is consistent with current, best-practice guidelines and collaborates in the development, implementation and analysis of research and evidenced-based quality projects.
