Transparency allows hospitals to continue improving the quality and safety of care provided, improving health in their communities and increasing the value of care received.

This focus commonly is referred to as the Triple Aim — better health, better care and lower costs. The goal of the initiative is to provide current and complete information to consumers, while increasing statewide efforts to reduce variation in outcomes and better coordinate care across all settings through noncompetitive methods.
