Kingsbrook received the
Get With the Guidelines-Stroke Silver Quality Achievement Award from the American Heart Association. The award recognizes Kingsbrook's
commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of care by ensuring
that stroke patients receive treatment according to nationally accepted

prevention guideline processes to improve patient care outcomes. The program
provides hospitals with a web-based patient management tool, best practice
discharge protocols and standing orders, along with a robust registry
and real-time benchmarking capabilities to track performance. The quick
and efficient use of guideline procedures can improve the quality of care
for stroke patients and may reduce disability and save lives.
