At Cambridge Health Alliance, we understand that you have high standards for health care quality. That's why we have we have dedicated extensive time and resources into improving our health care system.

Over the past several years we have made major investments in medical information technology, allowing us to offer safer, more efficient, and more effective care. We have looked at ourselves critically to improve our policies and procedures. And we have bolstered our patient safety efforts, focusing on issues such as infection control, reducing medical errors, and patient falls.

We are proud of our efforts, and are pleased to share some of our results. Click here to view our results on heart care.

As a health care consumer, you have access to more quality information than ever before. Two respected sources of information are the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (Joint Commission). Both CMS and the Joint Commission have user-friendly quality websites (see links below) and we encourage you to use them to see how we are doing in comparison to other hospitals in Massachusetts and across the nation.
