What is eQIP?

A Collaborative Partnership for Qualified Individuals (QI’s)


The Center for Innovation in Population Health (IPH-C) at the University of Kentucky is proud to help support the eQIP initiative.

eQIP is a groundbreaking virtual partnership in support of QI’s. The intention is to serve as a hub for collaboration, a central point of connection, and a beacon for gathering information and resources specific to the role of the QI. eQIP is meant to be a place for thoughtful sharing of ideas, questions, and best-practices for QIs; and it’s absolutely free! Becoming a partner of the eQIP will allow you to interact with peer professionals across the United States and to strengthen your skillset as a QI in the pursuit of supporting of children and families through FFPSA.
