The Wisconsin Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) for COVID-19 and Stroke Program offers funding to provide in-home, post-stroke discharge follow-up with a goal of reducing additional strokes and COVID-19 infections. The focus is on populations disproportionately impacted by stroke morbidity and mortality and those with higher risk of COVID-19 infections, including racial and ethnic minority populations and rural communities.
The initiative involves at-home visits, by EMS professionals, to stroke patients within 30 days of their discharge from the hospital.
- Before discharge, it is communicated to patients that they may receive an at-home visit
- After discharge, the hospital stroke coordinator (or designated individual) refers the patient to the partner EMS agency
- The EMS agency conducts the at-home visit and collects all information on the MIH project form within 30 days of discharge
- This information is shared with the hospital through secure file transfer
- Data is entered into the Get with the Guidelines® stroke registry tool by the designated hospital to enhance and improve data collection
Eligible applicants are Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agencies in Wisconsin with an established and documented relationship with a local hospital that has an existing license for Get with the Guidelines® for stroke, or agrees to initiate such a license by the start of the project period. (Project funding involves reimbursement for a new or existing license for the 12-month period of the project, with an additional 12 months of access pending satisfaction of project requirements.)
Award range per site: $3,000 - $30,000
(depending on site capacity for referral numbers)
Project period: 12 months
Estimated total program funding:
$200,000
