Minnesota Stroke Partnership - Hospital and Professional Education Work Group The Minnesota Stroke Partnership (MSP)is a coalition of stroke experts who collaborate to recommend and implement key strategies to reduce the burden of stroke in Minnesota. Their mission is to raise awareness of stroke, promote stroke prevention, and improve systems of stroke care throughout Minnesota. Contact: Al Tsai E-mail: albert.tsai@state.mn.us Website: www.mnstrokepartnership.org Minnesota Stroke Registry The Minnesota Stroke Registry program is part of a national effort to reduce the incidence of death and disability caused by stroke. This national effort is led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registry. The Minnesota Stroke Registry assesses the use of best practice guidelines for acute stroke treatment by conducting real-time data collection on stroke treatment with Minnesota hospitals. Using these data, hospitals are able to measure and improve the quality of patient care. Contact: Al

Reducing Avoidable Readmissions Effectively (RARE) The RARE Campaign is engaging hospitals and care providers across the continuum of care to prevent 4,000 avoidable hospital readmissions across Minnesota between July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2012. Doing so will alleviate the burden these readmissions place on patients and their families and will allow them the comfort and well being of staying in their own beds.
