What is Health Quality

Our Work

Health equity is a key part of achieving health care quality. We aim to embed equity in everything that we do, and it can be seen in Quality Matters – our framework for defining what high quality health care is – our Quality Standards program and our Quality Improvement work. We also produce equity-specific reports. See our work to date.
