Stroke 8.1 Rationale
See Stroke 7.1
Stroke 8.2 Reporting and verification
The practice reports the percentage of patients on the stroke/TIA
register that have a record of total cholesterol in the preceding 15 months
which is 5mmol/l or less.
In verifying that this information has been correctly recorded,
an inspection of the output from a computer search that has been used to provide
information on this indicator could be used.
