We're on a quest to improve healthcare in our state. And you can help.
Quality Quest for Health of Illinois is a not-for-profit, independent source for unbiased information on local healthcare. We identify best practice care standards—care that is proven by science to be effective, beneficial and valuable. And we measure performance—to see how local healthcare providers are stacking up against these standards of care. Our goal is to improve the quality of care in our state, reduce waste, and get the best value for the money spent on healthcare.
