The SIE serves as a driver of the CCSQ/QIG strategic vision and goals and will assist in creating widespread acceptance and application of quality improvement in the healthcare industry by culling practices from the greater quality improvement community that have significant evidence of success; creating an organizing structure that reviews those practices for possible spread and dissemination by QIOs and other CMS factions; expanding the science of quality improvement including those areas where there has traditionally been a lesser focus in healthcare, such as but not limited to, determining the value proposition; system engineering (i.e., patient flow, disease screening, treatment optimization) mistake proofing; and waste reduction. Additionally, the SIE will add to the QIO's program of knowledge on what works well with regards to providing direct technical assistance. The SIE supports the work of QIOs as they work to improve the quality of care available to Medicare beneficiaries in the U.S. health care system. Specifically, the SIE shall work throughout the QIO Program on sparking and spreading strategic initiatives and projects that achieve CMS's aims of better health care, better health, and lower healthcare costs through improvement for all Medicare beneficiaries. The SIE shall provide extensive specialized technical support and assistance to CMS regarding innovative and effective quality improvement interventions that support the advancement of the Three-Part Aim, better health, better healthcare and lower costs through improvement, and the six National Quality Strategy (NQS) priorities. The SIE will work in conjunction with CMS leadership and the COR will be an active participant in the advancement of SIE goals throughout the life of the contract.
