The Ontario Stroke Report Cards were developed by the Ontario Stroke Network’s (OSN) Ontario Stroke Evaluation and Quality Committee (SEQC) in 2009 to provide a concise mechanism for communicating stroke care performance in the province. Report cards are produced annually for Ontario and each of the 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs). Each year, the SEQC Knowledge Translation and Implementation Subcommittee reviews the indicators to assess data availability, system impact, and the knowledge translation strategy.
In 2015, the SEQC developed a progress report for each LHIN. In contrast to the report card where LHIN performance is compared to provincial high performers, the progress report evaluates each LHIN's progress in achieving best practice by comparing their current performance to their previous 3-year performance.
