New Jersey Acute Stroke Registry (NJASR)
With the approval of the New Jersey Stroke Registry Regulations, starting with first quarter 2010 data submissions, all hospitals designated as Primary or Comprehensive Stroke Centers in New Jersey are required to submit data to the New Jersey Acute Stroke Registry (NJASR).
Outcome offers an easy way to fulfill this requirement by providing an extension to the Get With The Guidelines® Stroke Patient Management Tool®. The American Heart Association's (AHA) Get With The Guidelines registry is a national quality improvement registry with 2000+ hospitals and more than 2 million patient records.
Benefits of choosing the Outcome Patient Management Tool®:

• Participation in Get With The Guidelines Stroke with an opportunity to achieve American Heart Association recognition awards
• Additional option of collecting data for Joint Commission Primary Stroke Certification and/or data submission of Stroke Core Measures to The Joint Commission
• Optional reporting of stroke quality measures to CMS for neurologists and physicians seeking to receive their 0.5% bonus payments for the Medicare PQRS (Physician Quality Reporting System - formerly PQRI)
