Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Healthcare Management
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Stroke care strategies have evolved significantly since the "Towards an Integrated Stroke Strategy" report in 2000.
  • The Ontario Stroke System was established to improve stroke prevention, treatment, and care coordination.
  • Evaluating the impact of integrated stroke systems is crucial for healthcare policy and practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the measurable impacts of the Ontario Stroke System on stroke care.
  • To assess improvements in access to stroke-related services.
  • To determine the effect on client and provider satisfaction with stroke care.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of evaluation results from the Ontario Stroke System.
  • Assessment of key performance indicators related to stroke care access and integration.
