Health Quality Innovators (HQI) is pleased to announce the addition of two experienced local improvement partners to the Health Quality Innovation Network (HQIN): the Kansas Foundation for Medical Care (KFMC) and the Kansas Healthcare Collaborative (KHC). Both organizations will support Kansas clinicians, health care providers and other organizations as they strengthen nursing home quality, combat the opioid epidemic, reduce readmissions and improve outcomes for rural communities.

The KFMC team will focus on nursing homes. Participating homes will receive support to improve quality measure performance, reduce readmissions and prevent infections. Learn more about the HQIN nursing home initiative by reviewing our fact sheet.

HQIN membership is collaborative and includes learning opportunities from regional high-performing providers that share best practices and helpful tips. With your time at a premium, HQIN’s trainings are designed to be quick-hitting, bite-size segments for clinicians and frontline staff. Operating under the HQIN umbrella, HQI, KFMC, KHC and The Carolinas Center for Medical Excellence (CCME) lead quality efforts in Kansas, Missouri, South Carolina and Virginia.
