    • Decreased numerator population

      Patients who have had a stroke often have difficulty swallowing and as a result, are prescribed aspirin suppositories instead of an oral medication. The Antithroumbotic Value-sets for these measures does not include this commonly used form. Please consider the inclusion of aspirin suppositories in the measure update.
