The U.S. Veterans Health Administration's Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) is an innovative integration of health services research, policy, and clinical care delivery designed to improve the quality, outcomes and efficiency of VHA healthcare through the identification and implementation of evidence-based practices in routine care settings. A total of eight condition-specific QUERI Centers are currently in operation, each pursuing an integrated portfolio of activities designed to identify and correct gaps in clinical quality and performance and to derive generalizable scientific knowledge regarding quality improvement processes and methods and their effectiveness. This overview article describes QUERI's mission, history, structure and activities, and provides a brief summary of key findings and impacts.
