Our Work

The Oregon Health Care Quality Corporation brings stakeholders together to work collaboratively on solutions for improving the quality and affordability of health care in Oregon. Through this process, we also work to produce transparent data and analytics that are highly valued and actionable to improve the health outcomes of Oregonians. We aim to be a trusted source of information for health care planning, programming, delivery and evaluation. Our main initiatives include:

Measurement and Reporting
