Partial federal government shutdown
HCA does not anticipate any immediate impacts to our services or disruption to provider payments at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation and share updates if anything changes.
Clinical collaboration and initiatives
The Clinical Quality and Care Transformation (CQCT) Division improves health care access, quality, and cost for Washingtonians using evidence to make clear and consistent coverage decisions.
Our division works with providers and manufacturers to stay informed of industry standards and trends. We conduct provider outreach and advise on health care policy.
Our mission is to make clinical policy decisions that guide medical coverage, maintain quality standards, and ensure providers have access to evidence-based practices for medical care.
