In 2021, the Illinois Hospital Association launched the progress report to providers across the state. More than 140 Illinois hospitals have completed self-assessments so far.
Thanks to a 2022 grant from the Commonwealth Fund, RUSH University Medical Center is helping test and validate the progress report on a national scale. Co-investigators are David Ansell, MD, MPH, the Medical Center’s senior vice president for community health equity, and Brenda Battle, RN, BSN, MBA, senior vice president for community health transformation at UChicago Medicine.
