The California HealthCare Foundation, based in Oakland, is an independent philanthropy committed to improving California's health care delivery and financing systems. Formed in 1996, our goal is to ensure that all Californians have access to affordable, quality health care. The Foundation's work focuses on informing health policy decisions, advancing efficient business practices, improving the quality and efficiency of care delivery, and promoting informed health care and coverage decisions. CHCF commissions research and analysis, publishes and disseminates information, convenes stakeholders, and funds development of programs and models aimed at improving the health care delivery and financing systems. For more information, visit us online (http://www.chcf.org).
The Chronic Disease Care Program seeks to improve the health of Californians by working to ensure those with chronic diseases receive care that is based on the best scientific knowledge. The Program's goals are to:
- Help providers (in physician offices, clinics, and medical groups) redesign clinical practice to provide effective care for patients with chronic diseases.
- Help bring health care systems into the 21st century by guiding the use of health information technology in the management of chronic diseases.
- Create an environment, in both the public and private sectors, to promote chronic disease care.
