The Community Checkup and all results produced and prepared by the Washington Health Alliance are not medical advice and are not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.  Never dismiss or delay seeking medical advice or treatment because of information on the Community Checkup or results produced and prepared by the Washington Health Alliance.

Many of the results on the Community Checkup website are the opinion of the Washington Health Alliance, based on our analysis of a significant amount of data, reflecting care provided to approximately 4 million residents in our state. These results were calculated based on measures that have been developed and finalized based on the judgment of many experts. Others who use their own technical processes to apply the same or similar measures to their own data may reach different conclusions than the results on this website. Results on this website also include those provided by other organizations, including the Washington State Hospital Association, the Washington State Department of Health, the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, the Washington State Health Care Authority, and the National Committee on Quality Assurance. These results were calculated by groups other than the Alliance, also using the judgment of technical experts, so the same cautions apply. Medical science changes constantly, and health care quality performance measurement is continually evolving. Therefore, we do not warrant that the information on the Community Checkup website or in other results produced and prepared by the Washington Health Alliance is complete, accurate, and current or that it will be suitable for your specific needs.
