The Right Care Every Time

Staff of medical professionals Imagine a health care system where patients receive the right care every time, and where providers have the tools and resources to deliver that care. At Quality Insights of Delaware, we spend every day working to make that health care system a reality.

Quality Insights of Delaware is the state's Medicare Quality Improvement Organization (QIO). Our vision is to work with Delaware's health care providers to foster an environment in which every patient receives the right care every time and where care is safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable.

We know that providers share our vision, and we are working to help them get there. And we know that there are proven best practices that can make this vision a reality.

Educational activities can be centered on educating patients on how to become involved in their own health care, as well as working with hospitals to build partnerships with their patient community.
