WCHQ members includes 35 health systems, 325 medical clinics, and more than 150 dentists. Members represent integrated health systems with hospitals and clinics; small, rural hospitals; a staff model health plan; FQHCs; a statewide network of free and charitable clinics; independent physician groups; and dental practices.
WCHQ’s members represent more than 75 percent of Wisconsin’s physicians, which is over 5,000 primary care physicians, advanced practice providers and physician assistants.
WCHQ partners with a wide range of stakeholders which includes corporate sponsors, purchasers, policy and advocacy organizations, government agencies, research institutions and foundations.
In early 2003, chief executives from Wisconsin health care provider organizations partnered with health care purchasers to create the Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality (WCHQ). They started developing a unique set of ambulatory care measures that enable medical groups to collect and report data on all patients in their practice. WCHQ members actively use these measures to drive internal improvement efforts and reach across organizations, sharing their knowledge and learning from the highest performers.
