Quality Improvement Coordinator PACE (CI-1.0)

Exceptional quality health care doesn’t happen by luck; it happens because there is a team of health care professionals working together – each doing their own job to the highest standards and working together for a common goal. Our PACE Quality Improvement Coordinators are an important part of this care team, by overseeing and implementing the QI plan for PACE. These extra steps make all the difference.
