The Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement (NRHI) was founded in 2004 to share learnings among five leading regional collaboratives: the Pacific Business Group on Health (PBGH), Massachusetts Health Quality Partners (MHQP), the Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative (PRHI), the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement (ICSI) / Minnesota Community Measurement (MNCM), and the Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality (WCHQ). The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Jewish Healthcare Foundation, and the California HealthCare Foundation are providing financial support for NRHI.
NRHI's goals are to to accelerate the formation and efficacy of regional initiatives through four key value drivers:
- Share practical knowledge among regional healthcare improvement organizations;
- Provide technical assistance to other regions seeking to establish or improve their own regional healthcare improvement organizations;
- Impact the national policy agenda based on the experience developed in improving healthcare at the regional level; and
- Serve as a clearinghouse for operational standards on quality and efficiency metrics.
Our Mission: NRHI accelerates improvement in the value (quality and cost) of health care delivery in the United States, by building and strengthening regional multi-stakeholder coalitions and influencing national policy for regional coalitions.
Our Vision: NRHI moves our communities across the quality chasm.
