Quality Improvement Program

Within Oregon, quality improvement and health transformation mean using evidence-based tools to achieve the triple aim: better health, better care and lower costs.

The OHA Quality Improvement Program aims to work with key partners across the state, coordinated care organizations, quality improvement staff within health systems and community-based organizations to use data to develop targeted interventions for improving health outcomes.
