Successful recertification: Sindelfinger Stroke Unit in focus!
Stroke care in the Böblingen region has reached an important milestone. The Stroke Unit of the Neurology Clinic in Sindelfingen was successfully recertified at the level of a regional stroke unit. This certification confirms the high quality standard defined by the German Stroke Society. This means that stroke patients benefit from optimal treatment conditions.
The staff in these specialized stroke units are specifically trained, and the equipment and organizational structures are specifically tailored to the needs of stroke patients. The Klinikverbund Südwest (KVSW) operates certified stroke units in both neurology clinics, which further increases the quality of care in the region. Chief physician Prof. Dr. Guy Arnold and his team are pleased with the successful recertification and the associated improved chances of recovery for patients.
Certification guidelines
The stroke units are certified according to strict criteria. Changes to these criteria were published by the German Stroke Society, which have been valid since January 1, 2025. Telemedically networked stroke units can also submit an application for certification, which is valid until June 30, 2025. From July 1, 2025, a new application will come into force that includes additional requirements, including data transmission from collaborating clinics such as vascular surgery, neurosurgery and radiology-neuroradiology.
The certification applications are intended for regional and national stroke units, which can be seen as an important step towards improving stroke care in Germany. On this basis, patient care is sustainably optimized. Further information and details on the certification criteria can be found on the website of the German Stroke Society. In this context, the interactive map of neurovascular centers offers valuable support for doctors and patients.
Continuously improving the quality of stroke care is not only a goal of the clinics, but also a necessity in order to meet the challenges in medical care. The success of the Sindelfingen Stroke Unit is a positive example that can serve as a guide for other institutions.
