The 2006 WCHQ Fall Forum was a success with over 200 healthcare providers, medical directors, quality improvement staff, and healthcare purchasers in attendance! All had the opportunity to learn from numerous nationally recognized speakers who shared insights and perspectives on the leading edge issues in healthcare quality and performance measurement and public reporting. And with more than 20 improvement projects showcased, attendees were able to exchange ideas on a variety of topics. We look forward to seeing you at next year's Forum!
