Patients and families have the potential to be one of the most powerful forces driving improvement in our healthcare system.  Quality Quest for Health of Illinois is working to make sure people have information to help them get excellent healthcare. The healthcare they need and deserve. We’re on a quest to improve healthcare and you can help.

Quest is launching a two month Awareness Campaign in three central Illinois regions- Peoria, Decatur and Champaign. Our goal is to build familiarity with our mission and vision, and to encourage people to visit our website. We are asking people to Join the Quest. 

Why join the Quest? Because we educate you on care standards based on the most current science, so that you can be an informed healthcare consumer. We provide performance data on how well local practices are stacking up to those standards, so that you are informed about the quality of care your clinic or doctor provides. And we give you access to reliable, unbiased, easy-to-understand information on preventive medicine and wellness—tools you can use to take charge of your own health. Because educated consumers who make informed choices and are engaged in their own care enjoy better health outcomes.

Healthcare in America is provided by knowledgeable, intelligent, and caring professionals at all levels. However, the “system” itself leaves a lot to be desired. The healthcare system is not really a system at all, but a collection of hospitals, treatment centers, small medical businesses, professionals, and individual support staff acting independently. Each entity has its own structure and systems that are isolated from other organizations. This contributes to healthcare in America being expensive. We spend one out of every six dollars on healthcare, yet studies show we receive only half the care we need.

Poised for dramatic change, healthcare needs a strong foundation of evidence-based care standards, measurement, reporting of performance and clinician leadership. We accept the challenge. Quality Quest for Health of Illinois is committed to working jointly with clinicians, employers, healthcare providers and patients to affect lasting, healing change in healthcare. We support them in their change efforts, measure progress and report the results. Due to the strength of our regional medical community, we know that we can transform healthcare- together. I invite you to Join the Quest. Visit our website often to learn more and learn what you can do to make healthcare better in your community.
