Puget Sound Health Alliance in Washington

The mission of the Puget Sound Health Alliance is to build a strong partnership among patients, doctors, hospitals, employers and health plans to promote health and improve the quality and affordability of health care services.

In January 2008, the Puget Sound Health Alliance published “Community Checkup,” its first report measuring ambulatory care. Since then, several clinics in the region have used the Checkup to guide their overall quality improvement efforts.

With a $50,000 grant from The Regence Foundation, the Alliance is developing a secure web portal to the performance data in the Checkup, as well as results from future Checkups. Accessible and updateable 24 hours a day, this portal will provide member clinics with immediate access to data intended to drive improvements in the quality of patient care.
