This week The Commonwealth Fund released its updated State-by-State Interactive Tool that illustrates the gains states could make by performing at the level of leading states on 40 measures of healthcare access, quality, and outcomes.
According to The Commonwealth Fund’s latest Scorecard on State Health System Performance, 2017 Edition, every state has opportunities to improve healthcare for its residents. This interactive tool can help providers across the continuum of care to see the gain their state could achieve by improving performance to the level of better-performing states, as well as the losses that would result if a state failed to sustain its performance. The impact of reaching for a goal that is even better than the current best state’s performance can also be seen.

The Great Plains QIN is focusing on processes of care at a community level to engage providers and stakeholders across the continuum of care throughout our region. We are specifically working with communities that focus on Medicare consumers of greatest need, such as individuals with multiple chronic conditions taking multiple medications, consumers with behavior health issues, those dually-enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid, rural populations and individuals impacted by other social determinants of heath.
