(e) Using guidelines prescribed by a nationally recognized organization involved in stroke treatment and research, determine which data may be reported to the Registry. Such data must include, without limitation, the consensus measures prescribed by the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registry of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the Joint Commission, the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association.
(f) Make aggregated data from the Registry available to each medical facility, provider of health care and provider of emergency medical services that treats patients who suffer from strokes in this State.
