New Community Checkup website adds interactive features, supports transparency
The Washington Health Alliance today announced the
launch of its new Community Checkup website, its signature site with detailed
results on the quality of care and patient experience within Washington State.
The new site, supported by Healthier Washington, includes enhancements that
will increase the usefulness of the site for health care purchasers, providers
and consumers.
In addition to detailed results for the Washington State Common Measure Set for
Health Care Quality and Cost, the site’s new features include:
- Data visualizations in both table and graph formats
- Ability to compare results among geographies (county, Accountable
Communities of Health) and facilities (medical groups, clinics and hospitals)
- Highlights of key issues illustrated by interactive data
- A step-by-step tool to help
consumers choose a medical group or hospital that meets their particular needs
The Statewide Common Measure Set provides the foundation for health care accountability and measuring performance. The development and ongoing evolution and implementation of measures is necessary to ensure our ability to measure progress towards achieving better health outcomes for all residents in Washington.
