Supporting Organizations

Organizations are encouraged to continue signing up to show their support for Stand for Quality. We will update this list every one or two weeks to reflect additional groups.

The undersigned organizations are heartened by the prospects of substantial health care reform and believe that reform should build on the momentum that has been generated by collaborative activities already underway to promote improvement in health care quality and affordability. By acting on the recommendations in Building a Foundation for High Quality, Affordable Health Care: Linking Performance Measurement to Health Reform (March 2009) we believe we can harness the energies of a wide range of groups seeking to improve care and lower costs, and, ultimately, achieve our goal of making high quality, affordable health care available to all.

These recommendations are the product of a partnership among patient and consumer groups, employers and public purchasers, representatives of physicians, nurses and other clinicians, health plans, hospitals and more. The composition of this partnership reflects the multistakeholder collaboration that we believe should be the locus of the measurement, reporting and improvement activities described in this document. Together we call on the new administration and Congress to build on the collaborative activities already underway. By expanding the public investment in the performance measurement, reporting and improvement enterprise we can harness the energies of these groups that seek to improve care and lower costs, and, ultimately, achieve our goal of making high quality, affordable health care available to all.
