This article examines the Cleveland Acute Stroke Experience and its impact on stroke care quality. It highlights the systematic data collection initiated in 1991, emphasizing the role of IV tPA in ischemic stroke treatment from 1996 onwards. The Cleveland Health Quality Choice program and Cuyahoga County's Operation Stroke initiatives illustrate the challenges and successes in improving stroke care, addressing barriers, protocol deviations, and training needs. Key data from various studies reveal trends in treatment utilization and outcomes, showcasing the benefits of quality improvement in stroke management across community hospitals.

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
