Supporting Hospital Teams

"The strength of the registry is the standardized definitions and abstraction model—it allows us to truly compare apples to apples. We rely on Get With The Guidelines® for our certifications, and the addition of DNV metrics has been a game changer. It gives us confidence in our national benchmarking while supporting the certification requirements that matter most to our organization.”
- Clinical Operations & Quality Leader 

"What’s most valuable is the ability to benchmark across our own sites and nationally. The data helps us identify where practices differ, ask the right questions—‘Who’s doing this best?’—and quickly translate those insights into process improvement. That transparency is incredibly important for our local coordinators and teams driving quality every day.”
- Health System Quality Director 

“There’s a lack of understanding of what a stroke coordinator is supposed to do. Get With The Guidelines helped focus my efforts when I 铿乺st came on.”
