The International Quality Improvement Collaborative (IQIC) for Congenital Heart Surgery in Developing Countries was officially launched in 2008 to provide benchmarking data for congenital heart surgery in the developing world, with the overall goal of guiding quality improvement efforts and reducing mortality for congenital heart disease.
Today, there are currently 56 active sites in 24 different countries enrolled with the IQIC
Our vision is to facilitate a collaborative comprised of healthcare teams from around the world working to create a culture of patient safety and sustainable quality improvement (QI) infrastructures for children receiving congenital heart surgery in resource-limited settings.
Our mission is to reduce mortality and major complications for children undergoing congenital heart surgery. To achieve our goals, we aim to:
