Brief description The health-care system does not consistently implement best-evidence practice, preventing the community from achieving optimal health outcomes. Effective strategies to reduce evidence practice gaps are now required. In stroke care, thrombolysis is the most powerful and cost-effective therapy but is delivered to less than 5% of stroke patients. This study would be the first to rigorously test the effectiveness of a modified Breakthrough Series approach in achieving best evidence stroke care.
