IHQI provides project management and mentorship to Improvement Scholars.
Projects are intended to improve clinical care and outcomes for a population of patients by implementing proven and/or expert-recommended strategies and approaches.
Selected Improvement Scholars will participate in the program and lead a clinical improvement project from Sep 1, 2021 – Aug 31, 2022.
