  • Assessed hospital adherence to evidence-based performance measures and monitored in-hospital patient outcomes across participating centers.
  • Established an integrated national surveillance platform to support continuous quality improvement across stroke and transient ischemic attack admissions.
  • Demonstrated sustained delivery and tracking of evidence-based acute stroke care across more than one million hospitalizations.

Abstract

With more than 1 million patients enrolled, GWTG-Stroke represents an integrated stroke and TIA registry that supports national surveillance, innovative research, and sustained quality improvement efforts facilitating evidence-based stroke/TIA care.
