What is the Maryland Quality Indicator Project?
The Maryland Quality Indicator Project (QI Project) is a clinical, outcomes-based research project that allows health care industry participants to understand and improve their performance at their facility. Developed in 1985, this participant driven, quality analysis research tool specifically assists hospital leadership in overseeing patient care quality, understanding hospital performance and identifying opportunities for improvement.
What began as a pilot program, including seven facilities in Maryland, has grown to over 1,800 facilities nationwide, incorporating hundreds of measures. This makes it one of the largest performance quality analysis programs available. The comprehensive set of benefits and services provided also makes the QI Project an exceptional value for participants.
