Welcome to. HEALTHCARE QUALITY QUEST (HQQ)
Middle East (HQQ ME)
Your Riyadh-based partner for healthcare quality and patient safety
Our Riyadh office supports healthcare providers across Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East with practical consultancy and training in clinical governance, patient safety, clinical audit, and continuous improvement. We work closely with leadership and frontline teams to deliver changes that are realistic, measurable, and sustainable.
We keep things clear and actionable: align priorities, build the right measures, support implementation, and transfer knowledge so your teams can maintain momentum.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe that the people who provide healthcare services want to do the best for their patients.
We see our role as giving these providers of healthcare services effective, practical and scientifically sound methods and tools to help them improve their practices.
We work as a well-functioning team to design and carry out consultancy projects, teach, and produce clear, practical and evidence-based publications on quality and safety improvement in health care.
WHAT MAKES HQQ ME UNIQUE
We use the
evidence base
We continuously screen the current evidence base on quality and patient safety looking for significant ideas and research findings that clinicians could apply.
We maintain our own substantial library of books and journals about quality and safety in healthcare.
We develop methods and tools
We create scientifically-sound methods and tools that blend the evidence base with practical and effective application in the healthcare workplace.
Our methods for clinical audit, quality improvement and patient safety incident analysis are referred to as ‘gold standard’.
We find
elegant solutions
We are incisive analysts of the way things work now. We are ‘clean thinkers’ of what is possible and how to make it happen.
We have devised workable clinical audit and quality improvement strategies and operational programmes for health systems in diverse countries.
We communicate effectively
We are excellent teachers and writers of technical information about improving and accounting for the quality and safety of patient care.
Our learners tell us they are ‘inspired’ by our courses and workshops. Our clinical audit and quality improvement books are so popular that they have been reprinted many times.
