Continuous Quality Improvement

A blended process for qualifying as a Certified CQI Professional

Knowledge about what it takes to improve performance in healthcare is growing at an accelerated pace. As knowledge grows, so does the complexity that the healthcare providers face as they seek to control costs, deliver superior services, and achieve competitive distinction.

In this pressured changing environment, you need somewhere to turn for training, tools, and know-how to help you manage the quality of patient care and services. Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is a comprehensive step-by-step team training process, designed in a blended format, exclusively for healthcare organizations. The training process empowers cross-functional teams to achieve quality breakthroughs, enhance patient care, and solve costly quality problems.
