The Acute Stroke Treatment Program (ASTP) provides resources to hospitals developing a Primary Stroke Center, and is based on Recommendations from the Brain Attack Coalition. GWTG-Stroke is a program focused on improving acute stroke treatment and preventing future strokes and cardiovascular events. Establishing a Primary Stroke Center is the first step in implementing GWTG-Stroke. Both programs can help hospitals become ready for certification by JCAHO.
