Commonwealth Fund to Release Updated State Health Performance Scores

The Commonwealth Fund's 2007 State Scorecard on Health System Performance uncovered wide variation across states in numerous indicators related to access, quality, avoidable hospital use and costs, equity, and healthy lives. State Scorecard findings suggest that, if middle- and low-performing states were to implement strategies and policies to help bring them to the levels of the highest-performing states, significant cost savings and improved health outcomes could be achieved. The second edition of the State Scorecard, expected in October 2009, will include several new indicators related to public health, illustrating that some states have indeed achieved improvements in such indicators since 2007.
