Quality Improvement

The Division of Adolescent Medicine believe that healthcare for our children should be safe, efficient, patient centered, and based on the best available evidence. The Quality Improvement (QI) methodology, specifically the Model for Improvement, in conjunction with practice facilitation, is the approach taken by Envision New Mexico when working with primary care practice sites as they work to improve service delivery in the communities where they are situated. Experienced coaches guide these multi-practice improvement projects in clinical improvement. Additionally, our work provides specific clinical content education and training in the initiative chosen by the practice site.

The Division of Adolescent Medicine and Envision New Mexico 2.0’s objective is to improve the quality of health care for children and families in New Mexico. Envision New Mexico’s quality improvement program accomplishes this by a multidisciplinary team (with expertise in epidemiology, exercise science, health education, medicine, nursing, nutrition, psychology, public health, improvement science, and statistics) that supports continuing education and training for health care providers on best practices and evidence-based care with the goal of helping organizations implement sustainable changes in health care delivery.
