Wisconsin Collaborative for Quality Healthcare

Providers

In 2001, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published Crossing the Quality Chasm, in which it identified six aims for improving our healthcare system. It called upon all healthcare organizations to commit to a shared vision of reform, so that together we can transform our healthcare system to be patient-centered, effective, safe, timely, efficient and equitable.

WCHQ demonstrates its commitment to improving the quality of healthcare in Wisconsin by reporting performance information through its online Performance & Progress Report. The purpose of this report is to assist healthcare providers, purchasers and consumers in understanding and assessing the quality of care and its outcomes.

For clinicians and patients, this information provides valuable insight into potentially effective opportunities that may improve the quality and value of care delivered and received. As with all efforts to improve, measuring and reporting performance remains on ongoing process for continuous quality improvement to be achieved.

WCHQ experienced significant growth in collaborative partners, including our member organizations and stakeholders. If you would like to learn more about getting involved with WCHQ, contact us.
