Institutionalizing Quality Improvement in Missouri Community Health Systems

The Missouri Institute for Community Health and local partners are collaborating to implement quality improvement (QI) initiatives in public health. This mini-collaborative program aims to enhance local health department (LHD) accreditation processes and instill QI principles across health systems. Activities include training sessions, project selection, and the establishment of an online forum for ongoing communication. By fostering effective partnerships, the project strives to create sustainable improvements that benefit community health outcomes across Missouri.
