It's only mid-summer 2026, but P3Alliance is already laying the groundwork for what we believe will be a transformative 2027.
In addition to multiple pieces of legislation already in development across several states, we're launching one of the most ambitious initiatives in our organization's history.
Like every year, we're working with advocates in multiple states and hope to have legislation filed across every U.S. time zone by the start of the 2027 legislative sessions.
But this year, we're doing something even bigger than passing another bill.
We're building a pilot program to track the real-world outcomes of healthcare legislation.
For too long, healthcare policies have been evaluated by intentions, compliance metrics, and prescribing statistics while giving far too little attention to the patients and healthcare professionals living with the consequences every day.
Millions of dollars have been invested in programs designed to reduce opioid prescribing. Yet remarkably little effort has gone toward systematically measuring the long-term impact those policies have had on pain, function, quality of life, access to care, provider behavior, disability, suicide, or countless other outcomes that truly matter.
We believe it's time to change that.
Our outcomes initiative will focus on measuring what happens after a policy is enacted ... not simply whether it achieved a predetermined metric, but whether it actually improved people's lives.

P3Alliance continues to gain attention from those who oppose our work. Along the way we've experienced cyberattacks, disruptions to healthcare, targeted providers, and other attempts to slow our progress.
Yet we continue moving forward.
If anything, those efforts remind us that our work is making an impact.
One example is Oklahoma's 2023 pain management legislation. Although the bill has evolved over time, it demonstrates what can happen when patients, advocates, and healthcare professionals work together.
With new partnerships, new tools, and a renewed focus on measurable outcomes, we believe the future of patient advocacy has never been brighter.
