The Aligning Forces for Quality (AF4Q) initiative in Albuquerque is led by the Albuquerque Coalition for Healthcare Quality (AC4HQ) in partnership with the New Mexico Medical Review Association, the state's health quality improvement organization. AC4HQ is a multistakeholder coalition consisting of hospitals, health plans, primary care physicians, nurses, consumers and employers working together to drive health care quality. The coalition is working across organizations and Albuquerque's multicultural community to improve health care systems and outcomes for residents.
To achieve its goals, AC4HQ aims to increase awareness of health care quality; increase the use and understanding of publicly available quality information; and support the roles of consumers and providers in achieving high-quality, patient-centered care.
