CLEVELAND ACUTE STROKE EXPERIENCE • Stroke QI requires data • quality of data varies (many hospitals = no data) • multiple barriers must be overcome (behavioral, political, resources) • team building through trust building • Performance varies widely across hospitals • physicians and hospitals may not like their data • outliers may not mean bad care • community effectiveness may differ from NINDS efficacy • Protocol deviations are very common • linked with bad outcomes • Data can change behavior and improve stroke care • community performance improves over time with systematic QI • Community hospitals can & should give IV tPA IF they are able to demonstrate they know how
