...leading the way for stroke prevention and care
Michigan Stroke Registry & Quality Improvement Program (MiSRQIP)

Michigan in partnership with the American Heart Association, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and others, is launching a 5 year program entitled the Michigan Stroke Registry and Quality Improvement Program (MiSRQIP). Its aim is to improve stroke patient outcomes and the status of stroke care throughout Michigan.

21 hospitals representing a cross section of Michigan have been invited to participate in phase I of the program. An additional approximately 11-14 hospitals will be invited to participate in phase II of the project in the summer of 2008.

The objective of MiSRQIP is to assist hospitals in their journey to provide “Defect Free” care. The following key aspects of the consensus measures from The Joint Commission and American Heart Association/American Stroke Association will be the focus of this program.

  1. DVT Prophylaxis
  2. Discharged on antithrombotic therapy
  3. Anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation
  4. t-PA administered
  5. Antithrombotic therapy by end of day 2
  6. Discharged on cholesterol reducing medication
