Angels Plus Spreadsheet

The Angels Plus spreadsheet allows the stroke team to capture the most relevant time stamps and actions. Data is captured and automatically analysed in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, which is stored on the team local computer. It cannot be shared or analysed by other hospitals. It's a useful tool allowing the hospital to capture their data and see where improvements can be made for better patient outcomes.
