Here's a really interesting Group Blog by a organization called "Pursuing Perfection in Whatcom County, WA". Here's how they describe themselves:
Pursuing Perfection in Whatcom County, WA. is the current phase in our community's ongoing improvement of the healthcare system. Our efforts have been clarified by the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) Quality of Health Care in America Project and it's final pronouncement, Crossing the Quality Chasm Report, Our efforts have been accelerated by a two year, 1.9 million dollar grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; matched by the investment of more than three million dollars of local provider funds. We have as thought partners the staff of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and more than a dozen other organizations in the US and Europe who are working together toward very similar goals.
There's a whole network of links here that lead to blogs by docs (Marcus Pierson, added to the blogroll to the right), administrators and others who are involved in this project. I'll be keeping an eye on this and commend them for using the blog format for communicating their progress. I can't think of a better way to give others a look inside what's going on, for better or worse. Kudos. (thanks to reader Sebastien for clueing me in on this one!)
