About CQM

The Center for Quality Management in Public Health (CQM), based in the VA Palo Alto Health Care System, functions as part of the VA Public Health Strategic Health Care Group at VA Central Office in Washington, DC.

The CQM was first established with a primary focus on HIV care. CQM's mission expanded to include Hepatitis C issues in January 2001. In line with the mission of its organizational parent, the CQM mission further expanded to include work on various issues and conditions with public health significance, including operational support and management of data from the Clinical Case Registries (CCR) software.
