Carenorth has an extensive Quality Improvement Program which researches the best, most current treatments and preventive care for patients. The program monitors providers to ensure this top level of care is given.
As the public reporting of the quality and value of health care services delivered has become more important, Carenorth has worked to stay current and responsive, and accountable. Focused training on quality improvement is offered at both the system level and the individual clinic level. This training provides a foundation for each independent clinic to build a relevant and successful QI process upon.
