About QI Awards

The QI Awards are an annual recognition of achievement and encouragement for quality improvement activities, programs or strategies that have been implemented into healthcare organisations.

The ACHS International QI Awards acknowledge healthcare organisations that achieve excellence and innovation in clinical care, organisation-wide practice, sustainability, service delivery and performance measurement. The QI Awards provide ACHSI program members with the opportunity to share patient-focused innovation and communicate their quality improvement achievements.
