Together We Can Raise Arkansas’s Health System Performance Score.
Too often Arkansans do not get the health care they need.  Health care costs are rising while performance declines.
Arkansas ranks 48 on a Scorecard of key health care measurements released on June 21, 2007 by the Commonwealth Fund. The new Scorecard ranks all U.S. states on key health system indicators including access, quality of care, equity, and health-related quality of life. Arkansas’s low ranking represents illnesses that could be prevented or managed better and costs that could be saved or reinvested to improve the health of Arkansans.
