Improving health and health care.

The Foundation for Health Care Quality partners with health systems and health sector organizations to improve patient outcomes through evidence based analyses, best practice sharing and research.  Our goals are to improve the appropriateness, quality and safety of clinical care.  We do this through our Cardiac, Obstetrical, Spine and Surgical Care Outcomes Assessment Programs (COAPs), the Bree Collaborative, the Washington Patient Safety Coalition and Smooth Transitions.
