This outcome measure tracks the rate of adult patients (aged 18 years and older) treated and released from the Emergency Department (ED) with either a non-specific, presumed benign symptom-only dizziness diagnosis or a specific inner ear/vestibular diagnosis (collectively referred to as “benign dizziness”) who were subsequently admitted to a hospital for a stroke within 30 days of their ED visit.
