Pioneers in Quality™ is a collaborative Joint Commission program to improve health care quality and patient safety through education (e.g., webinars for continuing education units), innovation, and recognition of pioneering practices for Joint Commission interested parties. Started in 2016 to assist hospitals on their electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) journey to improve eCQM data use for quality improvement, Joint Commission has expanded the program over time to include educational topics related to quality measurement, data submission and use for quality improvement, as well as implementation of new and revised accreditation and certification standards.
