CMS to Focus on Stroke Care in U.S. Hospitals
Date:8/27/2009

re than one million patient records and data clearly show participation in the program can lead to improved patient care," he said.

In a study published earlier this year in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, GWTG-Stroke participation was associated with increased adherence in all stroke performance measures. All hospitals realized markedly improved stroke care, regardless of their size, geography and teaching status, Schwamm said.

"The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association has an outstanding track record of helping hospitals improve on these and other measures for heart disease and stroke, and we look forward to new hospitals joining this initiative as a springboard to successfully deliver improved care to their stroke patients," said Pierre Fayad, M.D., chair of the American Stroke Association Advisory Committee and Reynolds Centennial Professor and chair of the department of neurological sciences at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. "The good news for patients is there will now be a new focus on stroke care in all hospitals, which means that additional resources will be devoted both to improving and measuring the outcome of stroke."
