Talking About Quality Part 1: Health Care Today

This is the first slide deck in a three-part collection that presents statistics, facts and messages about the state of health care quality today, where we want to go with health care quality and how we get there. These slides and stories from the field address not only the state of health care quality today, but also the current challenges we face, and examples from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's work to improve quality, reduce health care disparities, and improve the transparency of cost and quality information.


The Talking About Quality resource presents health care statistics, facts, and messages related to health care quality and reform. These slides can be downloaded individually or collectively for use in your presentations, or you can add them to the "My Presentation Builder" tool, which is featured in the right-hand column of this page. These slides will be updated on an ongoing basis with recent research and messages.
