Ren et al. demonstrated national marked and sustainable [[improvement]] in adherence to [[door-to-needle time]], [[door-to-puncture time]], and successful [[reperfusion therapy]] from 2013 to 2017 in [[Japan]] in [[acute ischemic stroke thrombolysis]]. Adhering to the key [[Quality Indicator]]s substantially affected in-hospital [[outcome]]s, underlining the importance of [[monitoring]] the [[quality of care]] using evidence-based [[Quality Indicator]]s and the nationwide Close The Gap-Stroke program
