START CAPTURING YOUR STROKE PATIENT DATA NOW

*The international stroke care quality improvement registry RES-Q is now also available for providers of prehospital stroke care. EMS companies that capture prehospital stroke care data in RES-Q receive feedback and analysis that help them identify and troubleshoot areas that need improvement. By capturing data in RES-Q, your EMS becomes eligible for the EMS Angels Awards.

ANGELS DATA ACTION MONTH is a twice-yearly activation of quality monitoring in stroke care.

Quality Monitoring

Provides emergency medical services (EMS) with important insights about protocol deviations causing delays in stroke care
Enables EMS to recognize opportunities for improvement, troubleshoot underperformance, track progress and receive recognition
Helps EMS motivate for resources needed to provide the highest quality of care to stroke patients
Generates comprehensive data needed to track prehospital stroke care progress worldwide

Establishing a data collection system should be included as a component of any stroke services.

By learning the lessons of the past, by collecting the evidence from the present, we can design deliverable, cost-effective systems for the future.

European Emergency Data Project

Both the ESO's Action Plan For Stroke in Europe and the WSO's Global Stroke Services Guidelines and Action Plan assert that data collection to monitor performance is a requirement for improving the quality of stroke care.

The EMS Angels Awards Program, endorsed by the WSO and EUSEM, incentivizes data collection and provides feedback that helps EMS identify quality gaps and take targeted action to improve their stroke care and deliver better outcomes for stroke patients.
