The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has selected Health Quality Innovators (HQI) as the Quality Innovation Network–Quality Improvement Organization (QIN‑QIO) serving North Carolina.

Through targeted quality improvement support, data‑driven performance insights and practice‑level technical assistance, HQI helps practices improve quality scores, reduce avoidable utilization, strengthen care coordination and address gaps that affect patient outcomes. HQI’s work is designed to complement existing payer and Accountable Care Organization (ACO) efforts while helping practices build the infrastructure and capabilities needed to improve patients’ lives.

The enrollment window closes August 27, sign up now to secure your spot. Organizations can receive QIN‑QIO services by completing a brief Provider Service Agreement. Once the agreement is received, a member of the HQI team will follow up with next steps. This overview flyer outlines current quality improvement opportunities and available resources.
