The California HealthCare Foundation has devoted substantial resources to promoting public reporting on the quality of California hospitals, physician groups, and nursing homes. Mathematica conducted an evaluation of the foundation's work from 1998 through 2005, identifying lessons from its experience in fostering quality information and exploring avenues for future foundation involvement in the field. This brief looks at the measurement and reporting activities funded and how they changed over time; factors that contribute to the evolution of quality strategies; and the role that regional, state, and local foundations can play in the development of accurate and useful quality measurement and reporting systems.
