Development and Validation of Electronic Quality Measures to Assess Care for Patients With Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Ischemic Stroke Original Articles
Conclusions— It is feasible to construct valid eQMs for processes of transient ischemic attack and minor ischemic stroke care. Healthcare systems with EHRs should consider using electronic data to evaluate care for their patients with transient ischemic attack and to complement and expand quality measurement programs currently focused on patients with stroke.

Electronic Stroke CarePath: Integrated Approach to Stroke Care Innovations in Care
We describe the development, implementation, and outcomes of the first 2 years of the Electronic Stroke CarePath, an initiative developed for management of ischemic stroke patients in an effort to improve efficiency and quality of care for patients. The CarePath consists of care pathways for ischemic stroke that are integrated within the electronic health record. Patient-reported outcomes are collected using an external software platform. Documentation tools, order sets, and clinical decision support were designed to improve efficiency, optimize process measure adherence, and produce clinical data as a byproduct of care th...

Abstract 146: Clinical and Economic Consequences of Statin Intolerance in the U.S.: Results from an Integrated Health System Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: While the majority of SI patients were on a statin, SI patients demonstrate a higher risk of some cardiovascular events; incur higher healthcare costs; and difficulty reaching LDL-C goals compared to patients without SI. Alternative treatment strategies are needed to better serve this at-risk patient population.

Abstract 266: No Impact of Electronic Health Records on Quality of Care and Outcomes for Ischemic Stroke Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: In our sample of GWTG-Stroke hospitals, EHRs were not associated with higher-quality care or better clinical outcomes. Given that these systems often create significant added burden for clinicians, further work to ensure that they are better integrated with care and fully evidence-driven is critical.

Abstract 24: Current Quality of Cardiovascular Prevention for Million Hearts™: An Analysis of 115,737 Outpatients from The Guideline Advantage™ Concurrent III Session A: Oral Abstract Presentations on EHS & Health IT
Conclusions: Compliance with clinical quality measures for the Million Hearts™ initiative varies widely across outpatient practices. Our findings identify multiple opportunities to improve the quality of outpatient care for cardiovascular prevention.
