Health Quality Innovators (HQI), previously known as VHQC, operates in the hospitals and health care sector as a nonprofit health quality consulting organization based in Richmond, Virginia. It traces its origins to 1984, when VHQC began focusing specifically on improving health quality rather than general consulting engagements. The organization remains independent of providers and insurers and emphasizes objective, expert-backed, real-world solutions for healthcare improvement. HQI serves government agencies, private-sector payers, and health care providers, offering approaches to strengthen clinical performance, boost operational efficiency, and reduce the costs associated with care through improvement initiatives. All services align with a mission to produce a measurable difference in the health of people and populations. As a small to mid-sized nonprofit, HQI carries out its work from the Richmond area.
