FACCT (Foundation For Accountability), was a national non-profit organization that closed its operations in 2004, after nine years of advocacy for an accountable heath care system in which consumers are partners who help shape the delivery of care.
David Lansky, president of FACCT, joined the Markle Foundation in September of 2004, as a director of the Health Program, which had long supported and collaborated with FACCT on health care quality and consumer outreach programs.
The Markle Foundation is committed to seeing that FACCT's key health care policy and research documents remain accessible to the public and has agreed to host them on the Markle Web site.
These FACCT programs now have new homes:
CompareYourCare (TM), and CAHMI
