Imagine a healthcare system in which patients receive the right care every time
and in which providers have the tools and resources to deliver that care. FMQAI
has been at the forefront of health care information for Floridians since 1999.
We are dedicated to improving quality care delivery and health outcomes through
data, education, and assistance. By collaborating with physician practices, health
plans, home health agencies, nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, and hospitals,
FMQAI seeks to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries receive the right care, in the
right setting, every time.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency of the Department
of Health and Human Services, is helping realize this vision through its national
network of Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) and End Stage Renal Disease
(ESRD) Networks. In turn, QIOs and ESRD Networks assist providers in transforming
the way health care is delivered by collaborating with them to implement best practices
of care. This collaboration is grounded in the three broad aims of the National
Quality Strategy: Better Care, Healthier People and Communities, and Affordable
Care for All.
