Can the organization use the GWTG Stroke program as our Clinical Practice Guidelines?
Any examples are for illustrative purposes only.
The Get With The Guidelines (GWTG) stroke registry is a multi-faceted database that hospitals can use. It does include a data collection tool for the performance measures (called the PMT or Patient Management Tool) and the guidelines are tied to it. If the organization uses "GWTG - Stroke" as its clinical practice guidelines, it must be able to cite which acute treatment protocols it is basing its Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) on.
