Ohio bill would designate ‘primary stroke centers’
A bill recently introduced in the Ohio House would designate certain hospitals as “primary stroke centers” to help the public know which hospitals have been certified for high-quality stroke care (Source: “Ohio bill aims to enhance state’s stroke care,” MedCity News, Aug. 4, 2010)
House Bill 564 was introduced by Rep. Barbara Boyd, D-Cleveland, who chairs the House’s Health Committee.
Beyond publicly designating hospitals from demonstrated excellence in stroke care, the bill also would require the Department of Health to maintain a stroke care database and release an annual report summarizing the data.
