WA HB2232

Establishes a statewide time-sensitive emergencies data repository by January 1, 2031, to collect and analyze data on stroke events, cardiac events (heart attack, sudden cardiac arrest), and trauma events including traumatic brain injury

Requires hospitals authorized to provide specialized emergency cardiac, stroke, or trauma care to submit data quarterly to the repository beginning January 1, 2031

Mandates the Department of Health to provide annual summary reports starting July 1, 2033, analyzing statewide progress on quality of care and patient outcomes, with recommendations on whether on-site verification of cardiac and stroke systems is needed

Expands regional quality assurance programs to require (rather than optionally allow) evaluation of emergency cardiac and stroke care delivery alongside existing trauma care evaluation

Directs the department to provide technical assistance to critical access and rural hospitals for data collection, support rural prehospital services with equipment and training, and conduct public education on heart attack and stroke symptoms
