Q3 Health Innovation Partners

Q3 Health Innovation Partners is a multistate healthcare quality-improvement joint venture formed by the New Jersey Hospital Association, the Ohio Hospital Association, and The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania. Operating as Q3HIP, the organization works with hospitals and other providers on patient safety, quality improvement, data reporting, benchmarking, and population health initiatives rather than developing therapeutics. Its programs have been described as focusing on issues such as maternal health, opioid stewardship, reduction of post-surgical infections, medication errors, patient falls, pressure injuries, and hospital readmissions. The entity appears to function as an active private LLC based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, supporting healthcare systems across New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
