COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
​
Mission
​
To create a national interdisciplinary platform for facilitating interactive learning between various individuals, facilities, stakeholders and government agencies to improve the quality of healthcare. NQOCN POCQI alliance of practice will be guided by the working principle- “All Teach and All Learn”.
Community overview
​
The NQOCN POCQI India Community of Practice will represent a friendly platform for sharing the recent evidence-based information, thoughts, innovative ideas and experiences of likeminded passionate members who are working towards improving the quality of healthcare. This will help in capacity building of the community members and serve as a source of constant encouragement. The knowledge gained through participation in the wide range of COP activities will be helpful in generating innovative and meaningful ideas. Additionally, it will also provide a platform to troubleshoot and mentor ongoing improvement projects, share successful improvement ideas and document
new practical learnings of improvement science. The COP will create a pool of experts in the field of quality improvement (QI) across India, who could serve as a catalyst for similar improvement at national and international levels. This, in turn, will have the potential to
favourably impact the outcomes of care across various health care settings in other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
