Understanding factors influencing quality improvement capacity among ambulatory care practices across the MidSouth region: an exploratory qualitative study.
Success in choosing and implementing quality metrics, necessary in a value-based care model, depends on quality improvement (QI) capacity-the shared knowledge, understanding, and commitment to continuous improvement. In this study, the investigators set out to explore factors influencing QI capacity among ambulatory care practices in the MidSouth Practice Transformation Network. Their findings provide insight into factors influencing the adoption and implementation of QI metrics across a diverse group of ambulatory care practices.
