Quality Monitoring & International benchmarking using Registry
What gets measured gets improved
RES-Q is one of the largest international stroke quality registry. Registry of Stroke Care Quality (RES-Q) was launched in 2016. It is currently used in 98 countries across continents, with > 2,500 hospitals (both public and private) and 720,000+ patients data.
Absolutely free of cost, RES-Q is a ready platform for hospitals to use it as a quality improvement tool. It allows you to capture the whole patient pathway until discharged and follow up after 3 months.
The registry provides real time feedback on stroke care quality in form of dashboards and reports, and provides benchmarking against national average and in some countries against all other hospitals. Also, hospitals can easily download their source data. RES-Q National coordinators have access to national data and can provide them for national activities such as quality improvement or research.
RES-Q Registry uses one harmonized data collection form, both for primary as well as comprehensive stroke centres. Form is simple and uses dynamic fields. It is available in 15 languages including English.
RES-Q was initiated as an initiative of ESO EAST (European Stroke Organization- Enhancing and Accelerating Stroke Treatment), to help hospitals and countries improve their stroke care systems. RES-Q works in close collaboration with World Stroke Organization (WSO), European Stroke Organization (ESO), American Heart Association/ Stroke Association (AHA/ ASA), Angels Initiative, SVIN Mechanical Thrombectomy 2020+ (SVIN MT2020), and many other national stroke societies worldwide.
RES-Q Registry is GDPR compliant. The data captured in RES-Q is used by several countries to publish their country level data in National and international journals. This data is also used by countries to bring policy change at a country level and process change in the hospitals.
RES-Q is one of the key partners to WSO, mainly collaborating for the WSO Stroke Certification program. It is also one of the preferred registry for the certification program. Hospitals registered in RES-Q automatically get to participate in the WSO Angels Award program. WSO is also collaborating to create global evidence on Quality of Stroke care using RES-Q data, by driving the “Activate Quality” campaign for collecting all stroke patients data from March and September. You can find more information about RES-Q on our website or you can write to us at admin@qualityregistry.org
RES-Q continues to enhance its platform by advancing the tool and adding more AI and Virtual Assistant features, revolutionizing stroke care, through its EU funded RES-Q+ project. You can find more information about RES-Q+ below.
WSO is proud to announce its involvement as one of the 22 partners in the RES-Q+ project consortium, led by Prof. Robert Mikulik. This collaborative project received a Horizon Europe grant and aims to enhance acute stroke care and Life after stroke to improve the lives of stroke patients. The consortium involves legal, technical, clinical and healthcare organization partners.
Over the next four years upto Oct 2026, WSO, along with the Angels Initiative and SAFE, will be responsible for coordinating communication and dissemination efforts related to the project.
RES-Q+ would amplify the work of RES-Q registry, operated by Health Management Institute, a non-profit organization. The registry, initially an initiative of the European Stroke Organisation (ESO), is now supported by various organizations including WSO, AHA/ASA, and other stakeholders. Currently, over 2,500+ hospitals from 98 countries are registered in RES-Q, with data on more than 720,000 stroke patients.
The RES-Q+ project, funded by the EU, aims to enhance healthcare by leveraging the existing RES-Q platform. It plans to achieve two main objectives,
Create an automated data extraction tool and processing, provide feedback to healthcare providers through AI-based virtual assistants
Developing virtual assistant tools for physicians, to monitor outcomes and for patients to monitor Life After Stroke.RES-Q+ complies with the provision of the GDPR and all applicable national data protection and health legislation
The RES-Q+ project is anticipated to revolutionize healthcare by automating various processes and paving the way for future advancements, empowering hospitals and healthcare systems. Find more information about the RES-Q+ project.
