AAP Support

The mission of the Quality Improvement Innovation Network (QuIIN), a network of practicing pediatricians and their staff, is to improve care and outcomes for children and families. QuIIN does so by using quality improvement science to test practical tools, measures, and strategies for use in everyday pediatric practice, the child's medical home, as well as by informal assessment that provides practicing pediatrician perspective into evidence-based recommendations and tools for implementation.

The measures and data collection tools presented in this course were tested by the Quality Improvement Innovation Network. Comments and feedback were incorporated.

Commercial Support

The EQIPP: Hypertension - Identification and Management course was produced by the American Academy of Pediatrics with a grant from Friends of Children. The work was developed in collaboration with American Society of Pediatric Nephrology (ASPN) and International Pediatric Hypertension Association (IPHA).
