The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services support quality initiatives. The mission of CMS is quality health care for people with Medicare which is a high priority for the president.

Partners HealthCare is a non-profit, health system located in Boston that created a data based transformation (Davenport, 2013). It integrated a new system that aligned the participating organizations to cohesively run as one and to help shape the future of the organization. The system didn’t stop there as it was responsible for bettering the patient financing experience and the delivery of healthcare information to other organizations (Davenport, 2013). The initial goal of the organization was making patient care more affordable and accountable by providing integrated, evidence based, patient-oriented care.

Kaiser is able to respond to the challenges set forth because they continue to evaluate what changes need to be made and how to make them successfully. The strategic plan allows for an overview of where the facility is currently standing. This allows for any changes that are made internally or externally to be evaluated at the time of the change instead of after the change has been made and it is too late. The strategic plan helps to have a faster response time because there is already plan in place so it is easier to see where the changes are made and how to correct them without the facility suffering.
