"Aligning Market Forces for Quality:  The Regional Market Project" - our second major initiative

Our second initiative "Aligning Market Forces for Quality:  The Regional Market Project" is being conducted in cooperation with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and many Memphis-area Community Partners. Memphis is one of 4 specially chosen pilot communities in the U.S. working to engage consumers, providers and payers to improve quality through public reporting of performance on key measures of outpatient quality of care.  Our goals include dramatic improvement of the quality of care for chronic diseases in ambulatory settings. We also hope to educate consumers about the critical components of high quality care so they can seek high quality health care for themselves and better take control of their health. For more information and a library of information connected with this initiative, visit: http://www.forces4quality.org/
