Welcome to The Partnership for Healthcare Excellence

The Partnership for Healthcare Excellence is working to:

  • Educate the public about variations in the quality of health care.
  • Encourage consumers to become more informed and involved in their own care.
  • Mobilize consumers to become advocates for the overall change necessary to improve the safety and effectiveness of the health care system.

There are a lot of things you can do for your health.  You can exercise and eat right — but one of the most powerful things you can do for your health is to be an active and engaged patient. That’s where The Partnership for Healthcare Excellence can help.

The Partnership for Healthcare Excellence is dedicated to helping you — as a patient and as a consumer — get the high quality care you and your family deserve.  

Research shows that patients who are informed about their health, ask questions, and get involved in making decisions, actually get better care.  That’s why we’re making it easier for you to get the information you need, by offering you tools, tips and resources that you can use to improve the quality of care that you and your family receive.
