For those who believe in the power of facts, some wonderful news from CMIO, 12/15/10: “Six of the nation’s leading healthcare systems — Cleveland Clinic, Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Denver Health, Geisinger Health SystemIntermountain Healthcare and Mayo Clinic — will join the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice in a collaboration to improve healthcare quality while reducing costs.

“The six healthcare systems, with a combined patient population of more than 10 million people, will share data on outcomes, quality and costs across a range of common and costly conditions and treatments. The group will determine best practices for delivering care for these conditions and will disseminate actionable recommendations to providers and health systems across the U.S.”

Full text here. Thanks to the always excellent ICMCC for the tip.

(p.s. Anybody know if other systems, like Kaiser and Harvard, were invited?)
