The IHI Chief Quality Officer (CQO) Network is designed for senior quality and safety executives across health care systems, leveraging more than 30 years of IHI’s trusted leadership in quality improvement. Building on years of success of the Chief Quality Officer Professional Development Program, the CQO Network unites around the common goal of making a profound impact in the core components of high-quality care: safe, effective, efficient, equitable, timely, and patient centered.

The network fosters a global community where quality leaders from diverse settings can forge connections, share insights, and exchange strategies that drive industry transformation. 

Networking and collaboration are central to the CQO Network. Members can engage with peers, access timely case studies, and participate in top-of-mind discussion series. Through these engagements, members support one another as they navigate, contribute to both local and global improvements, and influence health policy. 

• Member-Driven: Member priorities influence the learning, strategies, and collaborations of our network. 

• Collective Voice: Leveraging the power of our collective expertise and global IHI Networks, the CQO Network presents opportunities to catalyze the national and global dialogue regarding patient safety and health care quality.  

Who Should Participate

The CQO Network is open to active Chief Quality Officers and senior leaders responsible for quality from across IHI’s global community. This includes executives from health care delivery organizations, insurers, regulatory bodies, and associations, all committed to advancing quality transformation.
