Contact UsBest-practices evidence strongly indicates that a focus on readiness can improve the quality with which work is implemented. Although we have a wide range of projects in our portfolio, we continue to seek new opportunities in which to apply a readiness lens to different settings at different system levels because we are always looking for new ways to collaborate and learn.

The Quality Implementation Self-Assessment Rating Scale (QISARS) provides a point-in-time assessment of the quality of implementation and should be used to inform the next steps for implementation support. It is intended to provide insight into areas of strength and areas in which your organization may need additional support. The results of this assessment may indicate a need to undertake a Quality Implementation Process. To download this tool, click the image on the left.
