- Quality improvement collaboratives are a popular model used to address gaps between EBP and patient care. Little is known about use of such collaboratives in emergency medical services, particularly for improving prehospital stroke care.

- Until recently, health care systems in the United States often lacked a unified approach to prevent and manage chronic disease. Recent efforts have been made to close this gap through various calls for increased collaboration between public health and health care systems to better coordinate provision of services and programs. Currently, the extent to which the public health workforce has responded is relatively unknown. The objective of this study is to explore health care system collaboration efforts and activities among a population-based sample of state public health practitioners.
