Quality matters. Receiving quality, appropriate medical care is important to you and your family.

It’s also a priority to these leading medical groups and to Premera Blue Cross. For more than half a decade, we have worked side-by-side to improve medical care quality, and provide the tools and resources to support you in your health.

Together we are unveiling the 2007 Quality Score Card in Washington State—now available online at premera.com/qsc. You’ll find important information about recommended health-care guidelines, why they matter and how health-care quality is improving in Washington.

The score card includes measures in acute care, chronic care, prevention and member satisfaction. Physicians use the results to promote best practices and make a positive difference—one patient at a time. You can use the results to take a more active role in your health care while helping control costs along the way.

Find out about participating medical groups, learn about the Quality Score Card measures and discover what it means to you at www.premera.com/qsc.
