Measures to control BP should begin immediately after ICH onset (Class I, Level of Evidence A). Method of Reporting Per patient: documentation of an oral or transdermal antihypertensive medication prescribed at the time of hospital discharge or a documented BP of <130/80 mmHg at the time of hospital discharge Per patient population: percentage of patients prescribed an oral or transdermal antihypertensive medication at the time of hospital discharge or a documented BP of <130/80 mmHg at the time of hospital discharge Challenges to Implementation Prescription of an antihypertensive agent at hospital discharge does not guarantee long-term BP control. Documentation is required because an antihypertensive medication is not prescribed at hospital discharge if the BP at that time is 130/80 mmHg. Analogous Measures Endorsed by Other Organizations None AHA indicates American Heart Association; ASA, American Stroke Association; BP, blood pressure; and ICH, intracerebral hemorrhage. Hemphill et al Performance Measures for ICH e257 Appendix. Continued 8. Assessed for Rehabilitation: Percentage of patients with ICH assessed for, or who received, rehabilitation services Numerator Patients who were assessed for, or who received, rehabilitation services during the hospital stay* Denominator Included patients: All patients with ICH Excluded patients: <18 y of age Length of stay >120 d Comfort measures only documented Enrolled in a clinical trial that would affect the use of rehabilitation services Discharged to another acute care hospital Left against medical advice Died Discharged to home or another healthcare facility for hospice care Period of Assessment Acute hospital stay Sources of Data Prospective flowsheet, retrospective medical record review, electronic medical record Rationale ICH often results in severe long-term disability. Comprehensive stroke units that include rehabilitation services demonstrate improved outcomes compared with other models of stroke unit care, and most studies of rehabilitation in stroke have included patients with ICH and ischemic stroke.
