The Right Care Every Time
Imagine a health care system where patients receive the right care every time, and where providers have the tools and resources to deliver that care. At the West Virginia Medical Institute, we spend every day working to make that health care system a reality.
The West Virginia Medical Institute is the state's Medicare Quality Improvement Organization (QIO). Our vision is to work with West Virginia's health care providers to foster an environment in which every patient receives the right care every time and where care is safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable.
We know that providers share our vision, and we are working to help them get there. And we know that there are proven best practices that can make this vision a reality.
