The Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention program conducted the 2008 Survey of Employer Cardiovascular Health Resources, Policies and Programs, a 6-year follow-up study. Its goal was two-fold: (1) to assess what employer resources, incentives and programs currently exist to promote wellness and health for employees, and (2) to determine what changes, if any, have occurred since 2002. Both the report and the summary brochure present the survey findings.

The poster display will demonstrate an affordable option by which the California WISEWOMAN program utilized technology to assist in providing web accessible training for clinic site staff on one of the core elements of the WISEWOMAN program (counseling on the signs and symptoms of heart attack and stroke and when to call 911). The California WISEWOMAN program collaborated with local clinic program staff to “script” and film a video which depicts staff engaged in counseling with a WISEWOMAN client (portrayed by another WISEWOMAN staff person). The staff that appeared in the video messages are of the same culture as the majority of women served by the WISEWOMAN program (Hispanic women). The video will be available for California WISEWOMAN providers to view on the California WISEWOMAN website. The poster will feature still images from the video production in addition to details of planning, filming, and producing the video.

Quality of Care Teleconferences
For three years, the GLRSN through all of the HDSP programs in the Great Lakes region and in collaboration with the AHA/ASA and offices of rural health, has been conducting teleconferences with CEUs about how to improve the quality of stroke care. Over 2200 healthcare professionals have participated in these calls. Satisfaction with the calls has ranged from 89% to 100%. In 2009 over 50% of participants plan to implement changes in their practice as a result of our teleconferences. This addresses the priority of quality of care.

As a result of our strategic partnerships and collaboration in system setting, the American Heart/Stroke Association and Tennessee Stroke Systems of Care Task Force pursued implementation of a voluntary stroke registry based on Paul Coverdell Stroke Registry guidelines. The HDSP Program had applied for the Paul Coverdell Stroke Registry Grant in 2007 and was approved, but not funded. Nevertheless, we moved forward with our plans to implement the registry via our partnership with East Tennessee State University. Through this innovative approach, we were able to advance our efforts to collect stroke data and improve quality of stroke care in Tennessee, while saving taxpayers nearly half a million dollars. This progress report highlights the work achieved thus far in this effort.
