Modernizes stroke care in Illinois by updating hospital designations and data collection.
Illinois HB5494 updates stroke care by revising hospital designations for stroke centers and acute stroke-ready hospitals. It mandates that hospitals maintain certification from nationally recognized bodies to retain their designations. The bill also establishes a State Stroke Advisory Subcommittee to advise on stroke care standards. It requires hospitals to report stroke data, which is kept confidential and not used in civil actions. The Department of Public Health oversees the designation process, including granting and revoking designations based on compliance with stroke care standards.
