Schildautal Clinic once again receives a certificate for excellent stroke care

What's new from the Asklepios Klinik Schildautal? The news about stroke care in the region is cause for joy: The German Stroke Society (DSG) and the German Stroke Aid Foundation have re-certified the clinic's stroke unit. This award shows that the clinic not only excels in the area of ​​stroke treatment with excellent standards, but also meets the strict certification criteria. This makes the clinic a reliable partner for stroke patients and their relatives. The details of the certification and its meaning are summarized in regionalheute.de.

Chief physician Dr. Ralph Thinius describes the re-certification as a strong success for his team. This award is the result of hard work and forward planning. “Excellent cooperation between the emergency services and the clinic is essential in order to treat strokes quickly and effectively,” explains Thinius. The clinic offers comprehensive stroke care around the clock, including intensive medical care and rapid diagnostics.

Quality standards and certification criteria

The national stroke unit at the Schildautal Clinic has undergone a strict three-year cycle of recertification in order to maintain high quality standards. Various criteria must be met, including rapid care in conjunction with the central emergency room and radiological examinations. The German Stroke Society not only initiated the existing certification process, but also significantly supported its ongoing development since 2004. Information on the certification criteria and the upcoming changes from January 1, 2025 can be found at the German Stroke Society.

The certification of the clinic's quality management system not only offers security for patients, but also clear guidance for the clinic staff. A safe feeling, right? The clinic treats around 1,000 stroke patients every year, which underlines the relevance of its work. Dr. Thinius is active in the video podcast “Seesen Digital Health Forum” providing information about preventative measures to avoid strokes.

A look into the future

The certification through the TÜV certification process is excellent news for the Asklepios Klinik Schildautal. Not only is the importance of stroke treatment highly valued here, but the focus is also on continuously improving the quality of care. The certification process should be implemented across the board to ensure a consistently high level of care for all patients in Germany. You can read more about this on the TÜV website.

Stroke care not only requires first-class medical care, but also a well-coordinated network between different institutions. With a strong team and a clear focus on collaboration, the Schildautal Clinic guarantees excellent care at a high level. All of this is done in the interests of rapid and effective treatment, because in the event of a stroke, every minute counts!
