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.
