Aligning Forces for Quality
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Aligning Forces for Quality (AF4Q) program commissioned a special report by the Dartmouth Atlas Project to highlight the uneven quality of health care being delivered across America and the need to improve the quality of care and reduce disparities in health in every community. Aligning Forces for Quality is working to lift the overall quality of health care in targeted communities across America, and provide models for national reform.

The report demonstrates that in U.S. health care, it's not only who you are that matters, it's also where you live. The findings highlight the importance of understanding health and health care within a local context - and of efforts to explore and address the underlying causes of disparities within and across regions.
