The Tier System

 

Hospitals submitting data of at least 30 consecutive stroke patients in either the RES-Q or SITS QR Registry using the ESO Awards Protocol will be eligible for an award. Based on their performance against various measures, participating hospitals can be recognized with either Gold, Platinum or Diamond level award.

In addition to the Award, participating professionals and institutions in the Angels community will be supported to convene and connect, to identify good practices and to share learning that will help them to implement and accelerate improvements for patients.

The Awards will also provide another platform for ESO to acknowledge excellent stroke care and honour the teams and organisations who go above and beyond in the care for their patients.
