Underlying Philosophy of Collaboratives: "All Health Care is Local"

  • National goals and common standards are important, but real improvement takes place in local settings.
  • Growing number of National programs and organizations supporting local collaboratives:
    • HHS AHRQ Chartered Value Exchange (CVE) Program—24 regional or community collaboratives.
    • HHS ONC Beacon Community Program—15 regional collaboratives.
    • RWJ Aligning Forces Program—16 regional collaboratives.
    • National Business Coalition on Health (NBCH) business-led coalitions—60 regional collaboratives.
