For Health Professionals

Measuring care and outcomes is becoming a leading strategy to address variation.  

At Better Health Greater Cleveland:

• Physicians collaborate to adopt measures that are nationally endorsed and locally vetted.
• Aggregated data comes directly from electronic medical records or charts that are randomly sampled.
• Measures challenge physicians and their patients to improve.
• Public reporting highlights achievement and encourages practices to share successes so others may learn.
• Our June 2009 report recognizes improvement over time.

We believe that measuring care and outcomes is the first step toward improving them. Measurement permits physicians to assess their effectiveness and identify opportunities to improve. Similarly, publicly reporting our progress is an important first step to helping patients understand the role they must play in their health. That's why measurement is just one part of a comprehensive initiative that includes strategies to educate and activate patients and learning opportunities for physicians and other health professionals.
