Who We Are
The health professionals involved in implementing the Stroke Network of Southeastern Ontario work across the continuum of stroke care: prevention, emergency, acute care, rehabilitation and community re-engagement.
Regional Stroke Steering Committee
The Regional Stroke Steering Committee acts as the board of directors of the Southeastern Ontario Stroke Network. It ensures that participating organizations support the commitments outlined in the service guidelines of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. The strategic direction of the committee is: "As regional leaders, we use our collective wisdom to achieve excellence and drive seamless integration of care across the continuum from the perspective of the person at risk of a stroke or a stroke survivor".
Responsibilities
Through regular meetings (six a year) the Regional Stroke Steering Committee:
provides leadership, identifies resource requirements and fosters collaboration amongst regional health care providers in the planning, development and implementation of a best practice model for stroke care
determines the needs for implementing and managing specific activities and establishes the necessary structures as required
integrates recommendations from regional task teams and local workgroups into a co-ordinated regional plan
facilitates opportunities to use and/or establish regional information systems relating to stroke care
formalizes regional integration and partnership obligations
