-92% accuracy in detection which is improved from physical neurological assessment (Hastings, 2018)
-recommended for paramedics who may be first on scene as well as hospital clinicians (Hastings, 2018)
-rapid diagnosis within 30 seconds (Cerebrotech Medical Systems, 2019)
-early intervention yields better patient outcomes and reduced hospital costs (Cerebrotech Medical Systems, 2019)
-minimal training is required (Hastings, 2018)
-reduces risk of human error in physical exam (Hastings, 2018)
-false negatives were much lower using Cerebrotech Visor™ in comparison to current diagnostic tools (Kellner et al., 2018)]]> 2019-09-17 03:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tpetersen31/7ti8lglwxeif/wish/385048954 Cons for Cerebrotech tpetersen31 https://padlet.com/tpetersen31/7ti8lglwxeif/wish/385048980 -poor positioning requiring a non-conclusive reading and a need to repeat the scan
(Kellner et al., 2018)
-additional research is needed to confirm findings as financial contributors of a study had a relationship with Cerebrotech Medical Systems (Kellner et al., 2018)]]> 2019-09-17 03:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tpetersen31/7ti8lglwxeif/wish/385048980 Opinion with Rationale tpetersen31 https://padlet.com/tpetersen31/7ti8lglwxeif/wish/385049040 The Cerebrotech Visor™ is a life-changing innovation for stroke patients.  This new diagnostic tool, approved by the FDA, allows for minimizing delays in diagnosis and intervention, thus improving patient outcomes (Cerebrotech Medical Systems, 2019).  Due to current lack of diagnostic tools within hospitals, patients are experiencing delayed diagnosis and treatment up to 110 minutes as they are in transit to another facility that possesses the needed diagnostic tools.  The current tools used are non-portable, unlike the Cerebrotech Visor™. As stated by Kellner et al. (2018), there is a 20% decrease in the chances of a positive patient outcome for every hour delayed in receiving treatment.  This device has been proven to be effective, efficient, reduce costs, and improve patient outcomes.  Clearly, with this new technology, patients can receive risk-free assessment that results in early intervention.  In addition, the visor reduces risk for human error and requires minimal training (Hastings, 2018).  This new creation is a must in the healthcare industry.   ]]> 2019-09-17 03:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tpetersen31/7ti8lglwxeif/wish/385049040 Personal Strengths tpetersen31 https://padlet.com/tpetersen31/7ti8lglwxeif/wish/385049389 Tammie's Strengths: Achiever, belief, learner, responsibility, strategic]]> 2019-09-17 03:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tpetersen31/7ti8lglwxeif/wish/385049389 Tammie's Team tpetersen31 https://padlet.com/tpetersen31/7ti8lglwxeif/wish/385049410 A strong team possesses a multi-faceted skillset.
