May 30, 2023: Our 5th healthcare database profile from Sweden

Part of Riks-Stroke (RS), the Swedish Stroke Register established in 1994, a national register for acute stroke care; all Swedish hospitals admitting acute stroke and TIA (Transient Ischemic Attacks) patients participate. The Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA) Registry contains more than 100,000 total TIA events recorded. This makes RS one of the world’s largest TIA registers.

May 24, 2023: Compare SEER’s Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) with other healthcare databases.

SEER-CAHPS is a resource for quality of cancer care research based on a linkage between the NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) cancer registry data and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) Medicare Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) patient surveys. The SEER Program works to provide information on cancer statistics in an effort to reduce the burden of cancer among the U.S. population.
