The CDS Collaborative for Performance Improvement Sponsorship Opportunity

What is the CDS/PI Collaborative?

The Collaborative is an influential and growing initiative with individuals from scores of care delivery organizations and other industry stakeholder groups - likely including many of your partners, clients, and prospects. It fosters a structured approach to documenting and enhancing target-focused quality improvement (QI) strategies. The Collaborative provides mechanisms to share these strategies across organizations, which helps participants 'get better faster, together^SM' in their clinical decision support (CDS) and quality improvement efforts.

Why Should Your Business Be A Sponsor?

Sponsoring the Collaborative strengthens the link between your brand/solutions and performance improvement in the minds of clients and prospects. In addition, expressing and distributing your solution-specific value proposition in the Collaborative's target-focused CDS configuration templates will further support your marketing and value delivery efforts. Sponsorship will bring targeted exposure to an audience with intensive interest and leadership roles in applying CDS to performance improvement.

Sponsorship not only delivers good ROI to sponsors, but also provides value to Collaborative participants by exposing them to pertinent value propositions for their QI needs.
