Key result
Stroke care standardization boosts organizational orders by ~86% alongside enhanced policies and patient education.
Why the study?
Rural-urban and level of stroke center inequities exist in stroke care and outcomes, with rural stroke coordinators often assuming numerous care roles.
Does standardizing stroke care resources across a multi-hospital system improve practice standardization and resource availability?
Population
12 hospitals including 1 CSC, 1 TSC, 1 PSC, and 9 ASRC
Comparison
Standardized practices and resources via a learning collaborative model vs pre-implementation independent functioning
Design
Quality improvement initiative

Supports multi-hospital stroke resource standardization; extends feasibility evidence but leaves open effects on outcomes.
Does standardizing stroke care resources across a multi-hospital system improve practice standardization and resource availability?
Standardizing stroke care resources across a multi-hospital system significantly reduces redundant policies and orders while expanding community support and staff education.
Kuznia et al. (2026) studied this question. Standardization of stroke care across 12 hospitals improved organizational orders by 86%, policies by 85%, and enhanced patient education resources by 100%.
