Quality Improvement Initiatives

The simple yet powerful tools of QI provide the framework that VCHIP and our partners use to improve the health outcomes of children, youth and families in Vermont and nationally. QI techniques are highly effective in motivating, testing, and sustaining changes that result in improved health care process and health outcomes. Read more about quality improvement.

Quality Improvement Projects

National Improvement Partnership Network

A network of state Improvement Partnerships has emerged as a way to advance quality and transform health care practice for children. Practice-level support and a focus on system-wide improvements are what make Improvement Partnerships different-- they don't just give information; they work to facilitate change. Read more about the national improvement partnership network.

Health Services Research Team

The HSR team is in a unique position to inform primary care practice by sharing the impact of local practice change on the larger system of healthcare in Vermont and by disseminating findings nationally on healthcare transformation.
