Healthcare in the Region

Healthcare is an integral part of all of our lives - healing us when we are ill, supporting the emergence of new life, and helping us strive toward wellness. The Madison Region boasts a blend of award-winning health care providers focused on quality and community with nationally renowned academic and research facilities. Much of our healthcare is organized into comprehensive medical groups and delivery systems, which eases issues of coordinating care between multiple providers.

This focus on community and cohesion is evident in the continued strength of the five local, provider owned health plans. These integrated delivery systems ensure that medical coverage decisions are made locally and revenues are retained locally. Integrated delivery service models such as these also allow for tightly coordinated disease state management plans for people with chronic illness and population health measures for the entirety of the membership.

The Madison Region proudly honors our healthcare organizations that have been awarded state and national recognitions of quality. Both the Wisconsin Forward Award for Excellence and the Malcolm Baldrige National Award for Excellence have been earned by one or more of our healthcare providers. All of the provider owned health plans have been recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) with Excellent accreditations.

The major health care providers in the Madison Region also participate in efforts such as the Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality (WCHQ), the Leapfrog initiative, and other state and national collaborations working to publish quality and outcome data. The intent of these collaborations is for residents to become more educated participants in their own healthcare.
