Services
iMPROve Health offers two kinds of primary services: Quality Improvement and Review Services.
Healthcare quality improvement drives rapid, large-scale change that puts patients first, contributes to better care, improves population health, and lowers costs. Our work includes Medicare quality-improvement initiatives as part of the Superior Health Quality Alliance, along with efforts to battle cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and mental health.

Our work is data-driven and delivered by experienced professionals. iMPROve Health’s review teams are recognized statewide and nationally as leaders in Independent Review, Independent Peer Review, Informal Dispute Resolution, and Independent Informal Dispute Resolution.
