Healthcare is local and personal with hospitals providing medical services in nearly every community across the US. Informed citizens, armed with meaningful data about hospital performance and other relevant information, can engage with their healthcare professionals, local hospital leadership, boards of directors and other healthcare stakeholders including state and federal government officials responsible for healthcare oversight. Joining with others in their community, motivated citizens can identify and act together to solve local healthcare challenges and more actively participate in addressing the national healthcare challenge.
The conversation appearing on the Shrink the Government blog will support our Citiens4health initiatives.

The following questions we be explored in future posts:
How can we make hospitals and other healthcare organizations safer?
How can we improve the quality of services at hospitals?
How can we improve the value and cost of healthcare?
How can we improve public reporting by hospitals?
