Continuous quality improvement services for family medicine clinics and family medicine groups

The Unité de soutien SSA Québec offers Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) support to family medicine clinics and Family Medicine Groups (GMFs). How do we do it? Thanks to the expertise of regional CQI agents.

These services are provided to family medicine clinics and family medicine groups.

In December 2022, the Unit created 4 positions for regional Continuous Quality Improvement Officers (ARACQs in French). These people work in Family Medicine Groups (GMFs in French), while Continuous Quality Improvement Agents (AACQs in French) are deployed in the University Family Medicine Groups (GMF-Us in French). With the ARACQs, the Unit supports family medicine clinics and family medicine groups that apply.

How does it work?
