Instructions for Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program (PCNASP) Hospital Inventory Survey

The intent of the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program hospital inventory is to better understand issues associated with acute stoke care. Responses will be used to identify what types of QI interventions work in particular settings, where gaps exist, and how we can better help hospitals with fewer resources. Additionally, this survey will provide vital information to both CDC and State Health Departments about the capacity of hospitals for stroke care. When this survey is submitted to CDC by State Health Departments, it does not contain identifiable hospital information to protect the confidentiality of hospitals. Responses will be aggregated and may be used as additional information to patient-level data collected as part of PCNASP.

This survey should be filled out, or at least reviewed, by the stroke coordinator or other designee involved in stroke care. Because of the goals of the inventory, please base your answers on practical availability and use of the procedures and resources. For example, your hospital might have written care protocols that are used in less than 50% of cases. If so, then the answer to questions in B.2 would be “No”. Alternatively, some procedures employed at your hospital (pre-notification from EMS) might not be formalized, but regularly take place. In this situation, the answer to question C.2 would be “Always”/ “Sometimes”. Throughout the survey, circle radio buttons indicate that you should select one best answer; checkboxes indicate that you should select all answers that apply. This hospital inventory survey is completed by hospitals and then transmitted to their respective State Health Department (PCNASP awardee) as an electronic file or paper form, based on the request of your State Health Department.













Public reporting of this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a current valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to: CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA (0920-1108)
