About Us

The Puget Sound Health Alliance is a nonprofit organization where the people who get, provide and pay for health care come together to Improve health care quality and affordability in a five-county region: King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish and Thurston Counties.

The Alliance’s areas of focus are:

• Performance Measurement: Measuring variation in quality and cost of care
• Public Reporting: Making variation across providers and plans transparent
• Performance Improvement: Using reports to change results and improve value
• Consumer Engagement: Helping consumers make informed decisions
• Payment Reform: Paying providers for value, not volume

The Alliance includes more than 150 leading state and county employers and union trusts, health plans, hospitals and physician groups, government agencies, educational institutions, pharmaceutical companies and individuals.

Since our founding in 2004 as an independent 501(c)3 non-profit, non-partisan organization, the Alliance has grown such that Alliance participants now represent two million covered individuals, or half the population of the five-county region.
