A cluster-randomised quality improvement study to improve two inpatient stroke quality indicators

Conclusion
Quality improvement training was associated with early DVT improvement, but the effect was not sustained over time and was not seen with dysphagia screening. External quality improvement programmes may quickly boost performance but their effect may vary by indicator and may not sustain over time.
