Got Freebies?

Do you have a meeting coming up with public health colleagues who are interested in quality improvement?  Whether it's a small meeting with just a few people or a larger meeting with a lot of people, we would be happy to send you some freebies!  Just let us know when the meeting will take place, how many people will be there, and where to send the materials.  Send requests to cthroop@rti.org and we'll work with you to figure out what materials and freebies would be best!

Thanks for the Shout-out!

Thanks to PHAB, ASTHO, and NACCHO for publicizing PHQIX in recent e-newsletters!  

We always appreciate an e-mention.  We're also happy to send information and freebies for in-person events and meetings, so please keep this in mind for your next public health meeting!

Interview with RWJF and RTI

NewPublicHealth recently interviewed Pamela Russo and Jamie Pina about PHQIX; they answered a number of questions including "What’s the vision of PHQIX, and how did it come about?" and "Why is QI so critical for public health, especially now?"  Check out the interview!

Client HIV Test Results

Ty Kane asks an interesting question: how do you get more clients to call the clinic to receive their HIV test results? 

Welcome New Users!

We met a lot of great people at the NNPHI meeting last week.  We had almost 100 people register for the site in one day!  We’re now almost up to 300 registered users. 

Remember, the site is free.  Registration only takes a few minutes and gives you full access to the site.  After you fill out the registration form, you will receive an email with a temporary password.  Please reach out to contact@phqix.org if you have any questions.  We look forward to collaborating with you!

What About QI Plans?

PHQIX houses completed QI work.  Would you be interested in QI plans as well?  

Weigh in here.

Site Launch at APHA

Last week, several members of the PHQIX team attended the annual APHA meeting in San Francisco to promote the public launch of the PHQIX site.  As we hosted the first PHQIX conference booth, we noticed some common reactions as we described PHQIX. 

“Why haven’t I heard of this before?”

People were surprised they had never heard of this great resource.  We assured them they hadn’t missed anything; it’s a brand new resource!

“Is it free?”

People wondered if there was a cost associated with using the resource.  We assured them that it’s a publicly available, free resource!

“This will be a great resource for students!”

We totally agree!  We hope public health students and their professors will make use of this resource and that it will soon become part of their essential toolkit.
