Clinic Quality Improvement

We focus on coordinating and incorporating evidence-informed improvements at IHC’s monthly free-clinics to better serve the Tijuana Progreso community. We consider all aspects of our clinic to make an impact from the triaging staging through to patient discharge and beyond.

CQI Project Structure

For the 2023-24 academic year the Clinic Quality Improvement project is organized into mini-workgroups, each with 2-4 project members. Each of these workgroups focus on different issues and collaborate with other projects when applicable.

Workgroups meet with the CQI Project Manager (PM) in advance of each clinic to discuss their progress and plans for implementing our impact. We are open to collaborate with any project or organization interested in implementing an initiative at our monthly clinics. Please contact the PM at ian@ihcucsd.org to learn more. 

our impact

Clinics are normally the first Saturday of every month. Our work continues to be possible only through the dedication of our volunteers, providers, and Community Health Worker – Gina! We’re always looking for more drivers and volunteers. See you at Clinic! 🙂
