Founded in 1995, Quality Partners of Rhode Island (Quality Partners) is a nationally recognized leader in healthcare quality improvement. We are hired both by the government and private healthcare clients to provide healthcare professionals with strategies, tools and resources to improve the quality of services delivered to their patients. Over the past 10 years, our role has transformed from work within Rhode Island to a wide range of innovative quality improvement initiatives across the nation. We have become a leader in topics such as quality improvement, coalition building, culture change and health information technology.
Quality Partners of Rhode Island serves as the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) for Rhode Island under a contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Philosophy
We believe that positive, lasting change in healthcare can be achieved only through partnerships. Working with state and national partners, our expert staff encourages the adoption of evidence-based medicine and proven quality improvement techniques.
Successes
We examine the delivery systems in place, identify opportunities for improvement and work in collaboration to employ solutions to enhance care delivery. Our work has resulted in measurable, sustained improvement in healthcare services in five settings:
- Home Health Agencies
- Hospitals
- Nursing Homes (Including Individualized Care)
- Pharmacies
- Physician Office Practices
Future Work
We know how complex our healthcare system is today. Quality Partners is on the forefront of helping providers embrace technology and individualized care (also referred to as patient-centered) care by:
- Creating Organizational Culture Based on Individualized Care
- Finding Better Ways to Communicate With One Another
- Implementing Faster Ways to Track Patient Care
- Implementing Physician Practice Redesign
Together, these innovations can result in better quality, greater workforce retention and increased customer satisfaction.
