The Better Health Greater Cleveland initiative consists of more than 20 organizations representing providers, patients, payers, plans and state and local governments. The collaborative was founded by the Center for Community Solutions, Health Action Council Ohio and The MetroHealth System and is led by physician leaders from large organizations and most of the region's safety-net practices.
Better Health Greater Cleveland is dedicated to promoting high-quality and equitable care for people with chronic medical conditions; helping people be more active and confident in their care; and bringing patients and doctors together to make Greater Cleveland healthier.
Physician practices across the region volunteered to report measures of outcomes and care to produce Cleveland's first Community Health Checkup. The report will be based on data from medical records of outpatient care with attention to socioeconomic group and whether the care was paid for through a government or commercial health plan or was provided to a patient without insurance.
