The standards include future-focused statements and indicators to measure progress and lead to better health outcomes.

- People with stroke to understand key aspects of high-quality stroke care and to make informed decisions in partnership with their healthcare teams;
- Healthcare professionals to make decisions about appropriate care; and
- Healthcare organizations to examine their systems and policies and improve services.
