California Cooperative Healthcare Reporting Initiative (CCHRI) Web site

The California Cooperative Healthcare Reporting Initiative is a collaborative of health care purchasers, eleven health plans and many providers. The Pacific Business Group on Health manages the group to promote collaboration instead of competition in health plan and provider-level data collection and reporting. CCHRI publishes a yearly report with performance data. It provides a single process for data collection and analysis, uses an independent third party to assemble and analyze the data, and provides standardized performance reporting definitions, as well as an audit of all measures.  Visit their Web site at www.cchri.org.
