Along with extensive reporting on health care quality and cost, the Alliance has brought together a number of stakeholders for various targeted initiatives to address issues from costly, wasteful care to appropriate consumer enablement. Key to our efforts at the Alliance is a focus on driving market change so that the health care system in Washington is more equitable and fair.
Some of our latest initiatives:

The Low Back Pain Implementation Collaborative worked to advance the market to improve the value of care for all patients with low back pain in Washington state.
The Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Initiative is working to make our health care system better for all residents of Washington state.
Own Your Health provides resources to empower consumers to become active participants in their own health and health care.
The Obesity Workgroup brought together large public and private employers and union trusts over four months to collaborate on actionable opportunities for improvement in their health and wellness offerings to enhance the care for their workforce of people living with obesity.
The Washington Health Alliance serves as a regional leader for The Leapfrog Group, a nationwide, employer-driven nonprofit focused on patient safety. WHA interfaces directly with our state’s hospitals to ensure patient safety remains a priority.
