COVID-19 Outbreak Message to our Members and Partners:

Our hearts and thoughts go out to all the medical professionals who are working through personal hardship and risk to care for the people of our state.

Please know that all of our programs continue to operate and provide full, uninterrupted support to you, our members and partners. We know that the attention of many of you is focused on urgent matters related to this healthcare crisis and we will continue to support you in any way we can. One of the ways we are supporting our healthcare community is by hosting the Washington Healthcare Forum COVID-19 Work Groups.

Information on the status of our Annual Meetings and events will be provided as those decisions are made. Should you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to Contact Us directly by phone or email at any time.

We help the healthcare community find common ground.

For over 30 years the Foundation has been a trusted, independent resource to all participants in the health care community – patients, providers, payers, employers, hospital leadership and government agencies. We believe that healthcare quality improvement is in everyone’s hands.

We are a non-profit organization made up of seven programs, the Robert Bree Collaborative, the Washington Patient Safety Coalition and four clinical Care Outcomes Assessment Programs (COAPs) and Smooth Transitions, all with the same goal: how can we provide safer, better care for patients.

We also undertake consultative projects that require discretion, sensitivity and political neutrality. Recent clients include OneHealthPort, Noridian, and Yale University.   

The Foundation’s resources are used frequently to bring together people with varied perspectives around a shared goal: the continual improvement of sustainable health care that meets or exceeds established standards.

We invite you to learn all you can about our work, and to contact us if you have comments or questions, or if you wish to become involved.
