NIHSS

The NIHSS is widely used as a clinical assessment tool to evaluate acuity of stroke patients, determine appropriate treatment, and predict patient outcome. However, we often see health care professionals administer the examination or score the scale incorrectly, which can become detrimental to the patient’s clinical outcome.

This online learning module is designed to act as a refresher course for those who have completed their NIHSS certification, as well as to standardize how the examination should be performed and scored when dealing with a stroke patient.
