The Health Analytics & Quality (HAQ) Speaker Series is a monthly forum designed for quality improvement (QI) practitioners looking to expand their knowledge and share experiences with peers. Sessions feature interactive scholarly lectures with invited speakers, covering topics such as methodology, tools, research, leadership, and data.
