Why Now?

We’re experiencing an economic and healthcare crisis. The number of uninsured is growing. The health of our population is declining. Stubborn disparities in care persist. Unless America rethinks and revamps its healthcare system—and fast—our global eminence and domestic social and economic well-being will continue to slip away.

How Does It Work

The Priorities that the Partners have targeted for improvement are proven ways to eliminate harm, waste, and disparities. The Partners in this vanguard coalition have shed their own self-interests to not only agree to a core set of National Priorities and Goals but also to take action to achieve specific, measurable progress— including action in the areas of payment, public reporting, quality improvement, and consumer engagement.

Watch Our Progress

The goals set by the National Priorities Partnership are ambitious. Many of the answers and breakthroughs required to achieve these goals do not yet exist. Our path will be paved with the best science and evidence available, and our progress will be continuously monitored and evaluated to ensure that we are on track to deliver safer, more affordable, and effective care.

Support

In addition to the leadership of the Partners and the collective work and action of the entire healthcare community, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is generously supporting the efforts of the National Priorities Partnership.
