In 2019, stroke accounted for approximately 1 of every 19 deaths in the United States. In 2020, there were 7.08 million deaths attributable to cerebrovascular disease worldwide. The goal of morbidity and mortality case reviews (M&Ms) is to identify correctible deficiencies in provider practices, system failures, and patient behaviors to improve future patient outcomes. This activity is a morbidity and mortality (M&M) review for Stroke cases. M&Ms are key opportunities for clinical st...

Unconscious bias is a universal aspect of human cognition. Neuroscientific research suggests that a significant portion of the decisions we make are influenced by unconscious processes, shaped by our prior experiences, upbringing, and the brain’s tendency to operate on autopilot. This automatic processing allows the brain to efficiently filter and manage the vast amount of information it receives, relying on mental shortcuts, or heuristics, to make quick decisions. While these shortcuts help us ...

Someone in the world develops dementia every 3 seconds and there are over 55 million people worldwide living with dementia. This number will almost double every 20 years, reaching 78 million by 2030 and 139 million by 2050 with the majority of the increase in developing countries. Sixty percent of people with dementia live in low- and middle-income countries, but by 2050 this number will rise to 71%. The fastest growth in the elderly population is taking place in China, India, and their south As...

Stroke remains the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability globally. In the United States, nearly 795,000 individuals suffer a stroke annually, with ischemic strokes accounting for 87% of cases. Despite these alarming numbers, the stroke mortality rate has seen a slight improvement, decreasing from 41.1 per 100,000 in 2021 to 39.5 per 100,000 in 2022 (1), highlighting the critical impact of rapid medical intervention. This CME activity is designed to enhance the k...
