Welcome to the Minnesota Stroke Registry!

The Minnesota Stroke Registry is part of a national effort to reduce the incidence of death and disability caused by stroke. This national effort is led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registry.

The Minnesota Stroke Registry assesses the use of best practice guidelines for acute stroke treatment by conducting real-time data collection on stroke treatment with Minnesota hospitals. Using these data, hospitals are able to measure and improve the quality of patient care.

The goals of the Minnesota Stroke Registry are to:

• Collect quality of care information on acute stroke patients

• Facilitate the implementation of quality of stroke care improvements in Minnesota hospitals

• Track progress in meeting national benchmarks for stroke care
