With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, population health has become a core component of healthcare.

Keep Your Health Department's Engine Running Smoothly with a QI Tune-up
 Just like complicated machinery and the human body, a quality improvement (QI) program needs to be managed carefully and tuned-up on a regular basis. Too often, organizations think of building QI capacity as a one-time event; they provide training, launch projects, and check the "completed" box. But a QI program, like any other health department initiative, will only excel if it adjusts to changing circumstances and continually improves. Learn more about the QI Tune-up service that PHF has developed in response to this ongoing challenge. |
