Aligning Forces for Quality
Aligning Forces for Quality is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation aiming to lift the quality of health care in 16 targeted communities, reduce racial and ethnic disparities in those communities and provide models for national reform.〔(Aligning Forces For Quality: A Program To Improve Health And Health Care In Communities Across The United States – Health Affairs )〕 Each regional health care improvement collaborative aims to create sustainable improvements in health care quality throughout its targeted communities by 2015. To do so, the initiative fosters collaboration among multiple stakeholders in a community. Aligning Forces for Quality focuses its efforts on three main areas: 1) Performance measurement and public reporting, 2) Consumer engagement, and 3) Quality improvement.〔http://www.forces4quality.org/sites/default/files/AF4Q_Backgrounder_r1.pdf 12/16/10〕 Aligning Forces for Quality is the single largest effort of its kind undertaken by a philanthropy to improve the quality of U.S. health care.〔(Foundation pledges $300 million for improved health care – WKYC.com )〕
== History ==
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation launched the first phase of Aligning Forces for Quality in 2007 as an effort to help communities build health care systems where none existed. The first phase provided leadership teams from (14 communities ) with grants and assistance to help them work with physicians and improve the quality of care, measure and publicly report on the quality of ambulatory care, and enable consumers to make informed health care choices. The program expanded in June 2008 to include a focus on inpatient care, reducing racial and ethnic gaps in care, and enhancing the role of nursing.〔($500 Million Pledged to Fight Childhood Obesity - New York Times )〕 Since 2008, the initiative has added three additional communities into the alliance, bringing the total number of participating communities to 16. To date, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has committed up to $300 million in funding for Aligning Forces for Quality.
Operating primarily on the notion that no single person, group or profession can improve health and health without the support of others, Aligning Forces for Quality seeks to create improvements by aligning key players in local communities. Accordingly, each of the Aligning Forces communities is built around a local leadership alliance, which includes participation from area physicians, nurses, patients, consumers and consumer groups, purchasers, hospitals, health plans, safety net providers and others.
Sixteen communities currently participate in Aligning Forces for Quality.
