leading the way for stroke prevention and care

Coverdell Performance Measures

The Centers for Disease Control collaborated with The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association to develop consensus stroke performance measures.  Ten performance measures for acute stroke care were developed based on evidence from multiple clinical trials and in the peer-reviewed stroke literature.  The Michigan Stroke Registry and Quality Improvement Program uses the performance measures to benchmark the quality improvements made by the participating hospitals, to drive future QI activities and to measure Michigan against national performance measures.
