Education & QI Resources/Tools

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. As an essential resource for the QI community of practice, this forum fosters constructive feedback, debate, and discussion. By the end of the series, practitioners should be able to integrate these concepts into practical applications, contributing to the enhancement of quality in their respective fields.
