Abstract: Stroke is the second commonest cause of death and leading cause of adult disability worldwide. Healthcare systems throughout the world including America face the vexing problem of improving healthcare quality while at the same time confronted with ever-increasing costs. Over recent years, several healthcare organizations and entities in the United States have undertaken initiatives related to measuring and improving the quality of care provided to patients with stroke patients. We make a review about these main initiatives to provide a reference for current initiatives of measuring and improving the quality of stroke care in China.
