Quality Enhancement Research Initiative

Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs)

Scaling-up and spreading effective practices addressing VISN priorities

VA’s Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) is a national program devoted to rapid implementation of effective practices using implementation and quality improvement (QI) methods. QUERI QI efforts address the time sensitive priorities of all VISNs, including access, patient safety, and electronic health record modernization.

QUERI can help VISNs leaders…

  • Identify and implement an evidence-based practice to address a care gap
  • Optimize the rollout of a regional initiative
  • Evaluate the impact of a VISN-level program or policy
  • Engage frontline staff in quality improvement efforts

Interested in partnering with us? Contact vacoqueri@va.gov for more information on partnership and training opportunities.

"Strong partnership with VISN clinical leadership, joint partnering and funding from facility and VISN has expanded a number of virtual opportunities to increase rural health access to medical/surgical specialties and oversee care quality in community care referrals."
