Quality Counts for ME

Maine is one of 15 communities across the United States selected to particiate in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Aligning Forces for Quality Initiative (AF4Q) initiative.  The materials created as part of this work are offered under the name of "Quality Counts for ME".  In Maine, Quality Counts, the Maine Health Management Coalition, and the Maine Quality Forum are working together to help consumers use quality information to make healthcare choices and to take a more active role in their care.  Learn more.

QC Member Profile

Onpoint Health Data is a non-profit, Maine-based health data organization founded in 1976 with a vision to create an independent, trusted resource for health data that all stakeholders could rely on. Since the early 1980s, Onpoint has been developing and working with healthcare claims and utilization databases, collecting, warehousing, and maintaining complete data systems. Their research staff provides a wide range of client services, including designing and executing analyses using large, complex healthcare databases. Originally known as the Maine Health Information Center, Onpoint recently changed their name to reflect their substantial growth outside of Maine. Located in Manchester with additional offices in Portland and Concord NH, Onpoint has 35 employees.

“We provide the data and analytic services organizations need to make informed decisions. Our staff is expert in utilizing healthcare claims data, and other health data resources, to measure quality and effectiveness. We routinely provide clients with comparative quality information about providers and purchasers, often using HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) and other industry standard metrics.” Jim Harrison CEO.
