Cirrhosis Quality Collaborative
American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases' (AASLD) Cirrhosis Quality Collaborative (CQC) is a multi-site Learning Health Network (LHN) that combines quality improvement and research to improve the care and treatment outcomes of patients with cirrhosis.
Thus far, eight health systems from across the USA have joined the CQC, and several more are in the final stages of participation. Early efforts have focused on laying the foundation for quality improvement (QI) and research, including the development of a centralized web-based registry, QI training for members, planning and identifying local care quality gaps, and development of tools and materials to support active improvement and research.
