Background: Michigan's prototype of the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registry revealed improvement opportunities in acute stroke care.
Methods: A partnership among the registry investigators, American Stroke Association (ASA), Michigan Department of Community Health, and 13 Michigan hospitals was implemented in 2004. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement Breakthrough Series model and the ASA's Get With The Guidelines-Stroke program and Patient Management Tool (PMT) were used to implement tailored stroke practice guidelines at each hospital.
Background And Purpose: Recent recommendations call for in-hospital initiation of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) for most ischemic stroke (IS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA) survivors; however, little is known about actual use. This study describes use of and predictors for in-hospital lipid testing and LLT using data from a statewide stroke registry.
Methods: In 2002, the registry ascertained cases from a stratified sample of 16 hospitals.
Background: This American College of Cardiology (ACC) Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Guidelines Applied in Practice (GAP) collaborative in Michigan represented ACC's third initiative, in partnership with local health care coalitions and the Michigan Peer Review Organization. The GAP Pilot Project formed the basis for this project, which supported caregivers' efforts to improve their processes and consistently apply the evidence-based guidelines for AMI care.
The Southeast Michigan Expansion Project: The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Breakthrough Series model of improvement was modified to merge the GAP Pilot Project's design with a rapid-cycle quality improvement model.
