How will we get there?

At Cal HQ, we believe statewide transformation starts with aligned infrastructure, shared goals, and powerful collaboration. Our phased approach begins with building the framework, laying the foundation for hospital performance alignment and piloting core quality measures. From there, we iterate with early adopters and high performers to refine strategies, accelerate digital reporting, and create clear pathways toward improvement. In the final phase, we focus on innovation and sustainability by expanding successful strategies, increasing data transparency, and supporting long-term adoption across hospitals. Underpinning all of this are four core contributions: alignment across partners, co-design of strategies and tools, enabling innovation through collaboration, and public recognition for performance. Combined with robust technical assistance, from peer-to-peer learning to practical implementation resources, Cal HQ drives real, measurable quality improvement across California hospitals.
