California Healthcare Foundation's Free the Data initiative

California Healthcare Foundation (CHCF) is developing a comprehensive list of websites that provide easy access to California health data, as part of it’s Free the Data initiative. These websites offer a curated view into the complex world of health metrics.  To be considered for inclusion, a site must present health or health care data for all or part of California; provide free, open access; use public-domain data (usually from government sources); and display data in an easy-to-understand format, such as in maps, graphs, tables, and so on, and not just raw data for download.  Twenty-four Web sites are currently listed, including The Commonwealth Fund’s WhyNotTheBest.org and California HealthCare Foundation’s CalQualityCare.org
