  Improving Outcomes in Stroke Patients After Returning Home

  Mathew Reeves is a professor of epidemiology with an interest in improving care and outcomes for stroke patients. The comparative effectiveness trial MISTT (Michigan Stroke Transitions Trial) was designed to help stroke patients and their caregivers by testing the effects of providing enhanced case management using social workers and online patient education materials using a curated patient-centered website. His current work on improving transitional care includes evaluating access to and effectiveness of acute and sub-acute rehabilitation following stroke, and authoring a national scientific statement on stroke rehabilitation.

   

  Improving the Quality of Care and Outcomes for Stroke Patients Using Large Registries

  Mathew Reeves is a professor of epidemiology with an interest in stroke. Over the last 25 years he has been involved in the development of the Michigan Acute Stroke Registry, and served on the oversight committee for the American Heart Association’s Get-With-The Guidelines (GWTG)-Stroke registry for over 15 years. The GWTG-Stroke registry is now one of the largest quality improvement registries in the world with data from almost 10 million stroke events collected in over 2,600 hospitals. Current projects include analyses of data linkage between the Michigan Stroke Registry and pre-hospital (EMS) data, and post-hospital (administrative) data sources.
