As part of our work, the HQCA drafts what we call “frameworks” – guiding principles that help ensure patient safety and quality healthcare. Frameworks outline a set of principles for healthcare professionals that address specific issues within the system – for example, effective ways to deal with patient complaints or concerns. We are also involved in education initiatives and communications skills training that support the broad adoption of these frameworks.
