Superior Health Quality Alliance

Advancing Medicare Quality Through Collaboration and Innovation

The Wisconsin Hospital Association (WHA) is a proud member of the Superior Health Quality Alliance (Superior Health), an eight-partner organization focused on improving care for Medicare beneficiaries. Superior Health collaborates with patients, clinicians, healthcare organizations and communities across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin to support the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) quality improvement objectives.

Superior Health has participated in CMS’s quality improvement efforts since its inception, with the 12^th Statement of Work (SOW) completed in 2024. Through this work, Superior Health achieved significant milestones, including:

• 58% relative improvement rate in beneficiaries with diabetes
• 24% relative improvement rate in screening and diagnosing chronic kidney disease
• 86% reductions in infection control citations among long-term care facilities

13^th SOW: A New Chapter

CMS awarded Superior Health the 13^th Scope of Work (SOW) as a Quality Innovation Network–Quality Improvement Organization (QIN-QIO). Superior Health was selected for its strong performance history and innovative approach to delivering person-centered, data-driven improvement strategies. This five-year contract (May 28, 2025–May 27, 2030) affirms the role of a trusted partner to CMS and expands Superior Health's mission-driven work to reach more communities than ever before. 

Superior Health will provide no-cost technical assistance to providers, including support for chronic disease management, behavioral health integration, patient safety, care coordination and health care quality — all aligned with CMS national goals.
