Our Vision: To deliver the right care at the right time in the right place

The Oregon Stroke Network is a group of professionals that care for stroke patients in many practice settings across the state. We are committed to bringing together the resources to build a coordinated system of care delivery for our stroke patients and their families. We have been formed around this vision for the past 4 years. Each year we grow in number and have been working to get connected in this care delivery effort. Each of us have individual strengths and expertise that together can make a difference, not only survival but quality of life for stroke patients. Please consider joining us in the effort to protect people from the effects of cerebrovascular disease.

The Oregon Stroke Network will be hosting the 5th Annual Oregon Stroke Network Symposium, entitled: Designation of Levels of Stroke Care Delivery in the Oregon Network: What is your contribution to statewide excellence?, on Thursday (Nursing Symposium) and Friday September 8th & 9th in Bend, Oregon.

The program objectives for Thursday September 8th are to:

  • Understand the triage based timeframes and the urgency of care delivery for the acute stroke patient in the ED
  • Identify strategies to apply best practice in acute stroke care related to swallow screens, Vital signs and Neuro checks after tPA and the use of NIHSS
  • Identify team roles to participate in the collaborative team environment in acute stroke care

The program objectives for Friday September 9th are to:

  • Identify strategies for participation in collaborative teams both within your agency and statewide
  • Identify work to be done to optimize functional outcome based on evidence related acute stroke treatment and secondary prevention
  • Identify strategies to implement public policies that support stroke systems of care and improve health outcomes for stroke patients
