Strategies for Change
“Turning insight into action — and action into outcomes.”
At VCSQI, every metric is more than a number; it’s a starting point for improvement.
Strategies for Change brings together proven tactics, site-tested interventions, and real-world success stories to help you drive measurable impact at your institution.
Whether you're seeking to reduce AKI rates, improve same-day PCI discharge, increase cardiac rehab referrals, or lower readmissions, this is where knowledge becomes action — and action becomes change.
Performance Improvement Strategies

At VCSQI, improvement starts with actionable insights. Our Performance Improvement Strategies offer targeted, evidence-based approaches to help sites strengthen outcomes across key metrics. Whether it's optimizing radial access rates, reducing CABG-associated AKI, improving cardiac rehab referrals, or minimizing 30-day readmissions, these strategies are built to be scalable and adaptable. Each recommendation draws from proven practices, real-world testing, and collaborative expertise to support measurable, sustainable change.
Stories of Success

Change becomes real when it’s shared. In our Stories of Success, member sites showcase the innovations, interventions, and persistence that have led to better outcomes. From reducing bleeding rates through anticoagulation redesign to achieving near-universal cardiac rehab referrals, these stories offer practical lessons and inspiration. Each success story highlights the steps taken, challenges encountered, and insights gained—providing a roadmap for others seeking to create similar impact.
