Acute Services Clinical Audit Report 2011

PDF Print E-mail Enlarge text size Reduce text size

The National Stroke Audit Acute Services Clinical Audit Report 2011 provides an overview of the quality of acute stroke care in Australia using data from the Acute Services Clinical Audit.  It forms the second part of the National Stroke Audit 2011 and provides a measure of adherence to important aspects of care recommended in the Clinical Guidelines for Stroke Management 2010.

In 2011, a total of 3,548 patient medical records were audited by clinicians from 108 hospitals across Australia.  These hospitals provided care for the majority of stroke cases (88%) reported to be admitted by the 188 hospitals participating in the National Stroke Audit 2011.

The treatment of stroke patients remains inadequate, with processes known to save lives from death and disability not used in enough cases.
