Wisconsin’s Checkpoint Delivers Data on WI Providers

Dana Richardson, Vice President, Quality Initiatives, Wisconsin Hospital Association, reviews the WHA “Checkpoint” program. This voluntary reporting initiative provides consumers, employers, insurers and providers with valid, timely information on the quality and safety of care. CheckPoint provides reliable data on five error prevention goals and ten interventions that medical experts agree should be taken to treat heart attacks, heart failure and pneumonia, and the program covers 99% of the state’s patient population.
