Dear Participating FSR Hospital,
The following report, developed by the Florida Stroke Registry, is available only to your hospital. The data in the dashboard is obtained through the AHA GWTG-S, and represents your hospital’s acute stroke performance in 2024. Data has been stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, and benchmarked across the region and the state. The dashboard features the following measures: Defect-Free Care (DFC) and its components (panels 1-8); endovascular therapy and time metrics (panels 9-12); and stroke patient functional outcome measures (panels 13-16).
We hope that the FSR Hospital Quality of Stroke Care Dashboards will be useful, and we welcome all feedback (flstrokeregistry@miami.edu). Thank you for your collaboration and review.
