Clinic Health System, Milwaukee-based Dental Associates, Bloomington, Minn.-based HealthPartners and Milwaukee-based Children’s Wisconsin are all now reporting quality measures to the Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality reporting website. The five organizations are also founding members of the WCHQ Oral Health Collaborative.
