Quality Assurance & Improvement

Effective quality assurance and improvement (QA/QI) programs are the soil in which the seeds of education grow and bear fruit. They are foundational for effective patient care and will be playing an increasing larger role in combatting the epidemic of non-communicable diseases experienced in the USAPI.

QA/QI is also essential in the development and retention of the health workforce.  For the USAPI, this 'secondary' role is critical:  Since most health professional training occurs in country and on the job, it is essential to have effective systems that promote best practices and provide feedback and benchmarks  for professional development, as well as support quality patient care.
