Group Launch Website, Campaign to Engage Patients on Care Quality

Would you like to engage your patients via online for educational purposes? If so, feel free to contact us at 615.425.2719 so we can discuss how we can assist.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has teamed up with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to launch a new project called “Care About Your Care” to help consumers better understand health care quality issues, Government Health IT reports (Mosquera, Government Health IT, 9/1).

New Website

As part of the campaign, the organizations debuted a new website that offers resources to help consumers:

  • Understand the meaning of quality care;
  • Find out information about the quality of care provided by physicians and hospitals in their community; and
  • Learn how to become more engaged with their health care (United Press International, 8/31).

Additional Campaign Details

The campaign also aims to draw attention to initiatives aimed at improving health care quality, such as:

  • Aligning Forces for Quality, an RWJF program designed to improve care quality in 16 communities;
  • The Beacon Community Cooperative Agreement Program, ONC’s effort to promote electronic health record adoption in 17 communities; and
  • The Chartered Value Exchange Program, an AHRQ project made up of 24 community quality alliances.

On Sept. 15, TV host and physician Mehmet Oz and RWJF President and CEO Risa Lavizzo-Mourey will host an event in Washington, D.C., to spotlight the care quality movement and offer examples of how quality-focused changes affect patients and physicians (Zigmond, Modern Healthcare, 9/1).
