New Treatments in Stroke Prevention
In 2016, the CDC ranked Arkansas first in the U.S. in stroke-related deaths. The most recent rankings (2021) reveal that Arkansas has improved to 21st nationally. Much of this improvement can be attributed to renewed focus among statewide leaders over nearly a decade. The governor began focusing funding efforts on preventing stroke deaths. The Arkansas Department of Health created a division focusing on stroke prevention. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences began partnering with hospitals across the state to identify stroke symptoms via telehealth and recommending new medications to treat stroke, including a recently FDA-approved drug called Tenecteplase.
The Intersection of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Social Determinants of Health
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) screenings have become more common in practices and hospitals as a way to identify the needs of patients so that providers can begin addressing their underlying needs and improve their health. Many times, providers screen for anxiety, depression, food insecurity, housing issues, substance abuse, family and community support, and connections. They may not realize, though, that some of these factors are also the causes and results of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). While providers may be asking the right questions, acting on patient responses to these questions is essential to fully address a patient’s needs.
