Since August 2006, The Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance Health System has issued several major reports in support of its mission to move the nation toward greater access, quality, equity, and efficiency in health care. To build on this work, the Fund proposes to develop a Commission Web Resource—www.whynotthebest.org&8212;to enable health care professionals and other stakeholders to compare their organizations' performance against a range of benchmarks, access case studies that document improvement activities, and interact with other organizations through moderated forums.
