Standards of care and outcome reporting

by straycat123, Apr 27, 2008 07:31PM
Is there a national registry or data base that tracts quality measures.  JCAHO has measures for primary stroke certification however they do not make recommendations on their measures.  I am looking for a variety of clinical, operational and financial measures. i.e., incidence of pneumonia, UTI, post stroke, procedure times, fluoro times, efficiency measures for interventional neuroradiology cases, IA-tPA, coiling, thrombectomy and costs per case.  Does any one know if such an "animal" exists?  

Thank you
