HQSI is not your typical quality improvement consulting company. Our approach to quality improvement and other projects is based on providing patient-centered solutions that improve outcomes and return on investment.

 

HQSI partnered with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as PRONJ and as New Jersey’s Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) for over three decades. No other organization brings this unique experience and depth to its work.

 

Using a unique blend of qualitative, quantitative, and historical knowledge, HQSI’s experienced team brings practical knowledge and proven solutions to today’s healthcare challenges.

Our quality improvement services—value-driven, data-driven, and evidence-based—are geared to providers from all settings as well as payers, purchasers, business, researchers, federal and state government, and foundations. We can help anyone seeking assistance with the challenges of an ever-evolving healthcare system.
