New: NCQA Speakers are now available to present on the newly-released State of Health Care Quality: 2007. This annual report, in its 11th year, reports on performance trends, tracks variations in patterns of care and provides recommendations for future quality improvement.

Of note this year: although health care quality continues to improve for 84 million Americans, more than 100 million remain in the dark when it comes to making choices based on quality; and dangerous gaps in care nationwide cost up to 75,000 lives. For more information on the report, click here.
