We here at HQI are excited about the year ahead and continuing the collaborative work of enhancing patient safety and fostering a culture of excellence within hospitals. Our role is to support our members’ efforts toward providing the safest and highest quality care possible through education and the sharing of information and resources.
HQI is dedicated to advancing quality, safety, and reliability in health care, ensuring that hospitals can deliver the highest standard of care to every patient. Through our innovative programs and evidence-based strategies, HQI helps hospitals reduce harm, improve patient outcomes, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
HQI is committed to supporting hospitals in their efforts toward delivering the safest and highest quality care possible. The people you care for depend on you, and you depend on us.

The more timely and complete the data that’s submitted, the more comprehensive, up-to-date, and actionable our analyses will be.
Patient safety is the focus of what we all do. It involves a never-ending process of learning, understanding, and improving. At HQI, our goal is to support the dedicated people who are on the front lines of patient safety with valuable information to help them do their jobs better and open the door to new ideas in the world of health care.

In some cases, meaning gets lost behind a string of words.
Next month, and then again in November, we’ll gather in Long Beach and Napa, respectively for the HQI Annual Conference. After a two-year break, it will be a welcome opportunity to connect and re-connect with peers and experts and tap into patient safety excellence, while zeroing in on zero-harm care.
