Mission

Compass Healthcare Collaborative is a provider-led, patient-focused nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to sustainable healthcare transformation. Created in 2004 through a partnership between the Iowa Hospital Association (IHA) and the Iowa Medical Society (IMS), Compass uses a multi-stakeholder approach to bring together and engage providers, hospitals, payers, businesses, communities and government. These partnerships enable Compass to rapidly deploy best practices, use data to effect change, enable cross-sector collaboration and ultimately raise the quality, safety and value of healthcare in Iowa and across the nation.
