Chosun University Hospital Achieves First Grade in HIRA's Acute Stroke Evaluation for 8 Consecutive Years

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Chosun University Hospital (Director Jeong Jong-hoon) announced on the 26th that it has received the highest grade, "Grade 1," for the 8th consecutive time in the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service's (HIRA) "Acute Stroke Adequacy Evaluation."

Since 2006, HIRA has been conducting the "Acute Stroke Adequacy Evaluation" with the goal of improving the quality of medical care for acute stroke. Chosun University Hospital has received Grade 1 in all eight evaluations conducted so far.

Chosun University Hospital achieved a perfect comprehensive score of 100 points with high scores exceeding the average of the same hospitals in balanced categories such as ▲composition of specialized personnel ▲intravenous thrombolytic agent administration rate ▲early rehabilitation evaluation rate ▲stroke education implementation rate.

It is analyzed that this was possible because Chosun University Hospital has been responsible for rapid treatment of acute stroke patients in the region by introducing the Brain salvage through Emergent Stroke Treatment (BEST) emergency system for emergency stroke treatment since 2004.

Additionally, along with the recent HIRA evaluation, the hospital reconfirmed that it performs stroke treatment at the highest national level by obtaining the "Stroke Center Certification" hosted by the Korean Stroke Society in 2019.

Jeong Jong-hoon, director of Chosun University Hospital, said, "Having received the highest grade in this evaluation, we will play a central role in treating stroke patients in the region through even stricter management."
