The Foundation for Health Care Quality has long been home for collaboration across health care sectors and between competing organizations. Effective January 1, 2025, we will be taking over for OneHealthPort as Lead Organization for Administrative Simplification in Washington State.

In 2000, “Admin Simp” was created by the Washington Healthcare Forum to make it easier for payors and providers to do business together. In 2009, the Legislature directed the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner to designate a private sector organization to serve as the Lead Organization for Administrative Simplification in Washington State.  The OIC designated OneHealthPort and the Forum to serve in the Lead Organization capacity.

Much of the important work that OneHealthPort has been doing over the past years will be housed within a successor organization.  The OIC and the Forum have a strong commitment to sustaining our state’s administrative simplification efforts.  To that end, the OIC and the Forum worked collaboratively to select the Foundation for Healthcare Quality to assume the Lead Organization role. We recognize and thank OneHealthPort for its partnership and the many accomplishments achieved through its administrative simplification work.

As part of this transition, we welcome any feedback or comments, here.
