Since 2018, the Institute for High Quality Care (IHQC), in partnership with the Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County (CCALAC), has proudly hosted the Quality Improvement Summit—a dynamic annual conference dedicated to QI professionals, providers, and leaders working across California’s safety net.
Now in its eighth year, the 2025 QI Summit will take place on September 17, 2025, in Burbank, CA, and carries special significance as we celebrate IHQC’s 10-Year Anniversary. This milestone marks a decade of advancing quality improvement, supporting transformative change, and empowering community-based organizations to deliver high-quality, equitable care.
The Summit will continue to spotlight QI’s essential role in strengthening care delivery across the safety net. Through timely, interactive sessions, participants will explore strategies to improve population health, value-based care, equitable access, and operational efficiency while applying QI methods to reduce disparities and improve health outcomes. This year’s program will also feature the return of the Fundamentals in Quality Improvement short-course – an abbreviated version of IHQC’s popular training that offers foundational skills and tools for those newer to QI or looking to refresh their approach.
Attendees will benefit from expert-led presentations, real-world insights from safety net peers, and targeted networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration, support best practice exchange, and celebrate a decade of shared commitment to quality in healthcare. Please check this page to stay up-to-date with speaker announcements and other event notifications. We hope to see you at the QI Summit!
