The School-Based Health Alliance provides tools and resources in this publication to help school-based health centers enhance their QI processes. Although the health care industry was one of the last industries to embrace quality improvement, it’s moving rapidly to catch up. Health care payers are demanding new payment models that reward value, not volume, and outcomes instead of process measures. New payment models can improve the patient experience; generate better health for the population; and reduce overall costs. QI is a critical tool to document provider value.
