Partners and Affiliates

SSI Strategy knows that clients often require services outside our core offerings and we are willing to help in those situations.  We are affiliated with the following, high quality providers of services and products and will work with our clients to ensure that all required services can be tailored, integrated, and delivered to high effectiveness.

An example of how this might work is for an SSI Strategy client that seeks safety information handling services.  SSI Strategy would work with both the client and our case processing partner to ensure that all client needs are met. We will work to define process/technology/human resource requirments; author transition plans, design strategies to monitor performance (quality, efficiency metrics), and even manage the case processing partner is desired by the client.

Please let us know if you would like an introduction to any of our providers and how we can help.

The Hospital Quality Foundation is a non-profit organization composed of key opinion leaders with experience and expertise in health care quality and hospital medicine. The HQF is dedicated to improving the practice of hospital medicine through the development and delivery of high-impact information and education.
 
The goal of the Hospital Quality Foundation (HQF) is to provide health professionals and other key stakeholders with the most current education and information on hospital-based medical practice and its effect on quality of care.  With the assistance of its supporters, the HQF will:

• Document and evaluate the wide variety of health care quality activities, technologies, and tools currently underway nationally and internationally;
• Act as a focal point for a cross section of stakeholders, establishing a repository of information on the latest developments and their implications for hospital quality;
• Provide a communication and research vehicle for those interested in hospital quality in support of a more integrated vision and strategy to advance health care quality improvement.
• Analyze key findings in order to identify additional research needs and ideas for demonstration projects.

The HQF leverages multiple communication channels to disseminate information about hospital related health care quality strategies.  HQF educational programs are designed so physicians, and health care providers have information about the latest medical developments and their implications for patient management. The HQF also identifies and provides financial support for research and quality improvement initiatives that promote the goals of the HQF.

The HQF is founded on the premise that a wide cross section of stakeholders will need to be actively engaged in the hospital quality improvement process. In conjunction with its sponsors, emphasis will be placed on educating and engaging physicians and other key stakeholders in advancing a coordinated strategy for hospital quality improvement.
