About Us

Better Health Greater Cleveland is an independent, not-for-profit program established in 2007 under the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Aligning Forces for Quality initiative. 
 
Its focus on electronic medical records-catalyzed public reporting of performance on nationally endorsed and locally vetted quality standards have made it a leader in the use of technology to drive improvements in health care delivery and clinical outcomes in primary care.

A region-wide Quality Improvement Learning Collaborative is a vital component of our work, leveraging data to identify opportunities and best practices in improving care and outcomes within a peer network of primary care professionals. 

Led by practicing physicians with more than a decade of e-health and quality improvement experience, Better Health leverages its community-wide network of clinical partners to offer education and on-site consultation to achieve meaningful change through health IT.
