External quality monitoring facilitates improvement in already well-performing stroke units: insights from RES-Q Poland

CONCLUSIONS: Quality-oriented projects facilitate the improvement of stroke care, even in centres demonstrating good baseline performance. Polish stroke units that consistently reported cases to the RES-Q demonstrated improvement in terms of door-to- -needle time and dysphagia screening. However, there is still a need to shorten the time to dysphagia screening, and carefully monitor stroke unit mortality following the COVID-19 pandemic.PMID:38037889 | DOI:10.5603/pjnns.96442
