As one of the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registries, the North Carolina
Stroke Care Collaborative (NCSCC) is part of a national effort to reduce the
incidence of death and disability caused by stroke. The NCSCC assesses the use of
best practice guidelines for stroke treatment by conducting real-time data collection
on stroke treatment within North Carolina hospitals. Using these data, hospitals are
able to measure and improve the quality of patient care.
The goals of the North Carolina Stroke Care Collaborative are to:
Evaluate the current state of stroke care in North Carolina
Facilitate quality of stroke care improvements in NC hospitals
Build a foundation for a state-wide stroke registry
