What makes us different than other QI Programs?The HiQuiPs incubator goes beyond the basics and takes foundational knowledge in the three intertwined fields of health informatics, quality improvement and patient safety into practical areas. The three fields which are usually taught independently are integrated into one program highlighting their points of intersection and areas for capacity building.
