Framework from Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services Collaborative

Qualis Health
Seattle, Washington, USA

Qualis Health led a national Surgical Infection Prevention Collaborative (March 2002 to April 2003) sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. After the conclusion of the Collaborative, Qualis Health updated the charter, change package and measurement strategy to reflect the learnings from the 56 participating teams.


Background

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) developed the Collaborative learning methodology with colleagues from Associates in Process Improvement (API).  IHI, API, and Qualis Health worked with a panel of experts, including representatives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Oklahoma Foundation for Medical Quality, to develop the charter, change package, and measurement strategy for the Collaborative.
