EP News: Center-Specific Quality Improvement

In this EP News, we focus on the concept of center-specific quality improvement (QI). Large multicenter trials, observational studies, and practice guidelines provide us with the evidence and expert recommendations to standardize care delivery, inform QI initiatives, and improve outcomes across care delivery systems. However, at its core, QI is a continuous process and not simply the achievement of a specific threshold goal or the ability to define a center ’s care as “high quality.” Center-specific QI projects are developed and implemented at individual centers.
