Washington Healthcare Forum

The Washington Healthcare Forum is a coalition of healthcare leaders in Washington State dedicated to improving the local healthcare system through administrative simplification and clinical collaboration. Founded in 1992, the organization brings together major health plans, provider groups, and professional associations to address systemic challenges such as health equity and operational efficiency. One of its most significant achievements is the creation of OneHealthPort, which serves as a health information exchange and single sign-on portal for the state's healthcare community. The Forum focuses on developing and implementing shared best practices to reduce administrative costs and improve the quality of patient care across the region. It serves as a critical neutral ground for competitors to collaborate on non-competitive issues that benefit the entire healthcare ecosystem.
