The Ohio Coverdell Stroke Program
The Ohio Coverdell Stroke Program is a data-driven quality improvement program for the system of stroke care that provides quality improvement resources to emergency medical service providers, hospital stroke teams, and other healthcare providers to provide high quality stroke care to Ohioans. The program also seeks to reduce the number of people who have recurrent strokes, stroke-related disabilities, or death.
Ohio Coverdell’s quality improvement work is based on participating hospitals submitting data collected into Get With The Guidelines® Stroke (GTWG-Stroke), which includes information from each part of the stroke system of care, from the first report of symptoms through hospital treatment to stroke recovery. GTWG-Stroke is a nationwide stroke data collection and reporting platform supported by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) utilized for the Ohio Stroke Registry.
The program is part of the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program and is funded primarily by a grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
