About CQPI
The Center for Quality and Productivity Improvement (CQPI) is an interdisciplinary research center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's College of Engineering.
Our work applies the principles of human factors and systems engineering to improve the quality and safety of work processes, working life, and health care.
Specific areas of research include:
- Health care and patient safety;
- Computer and information security; and
- Job design and safety.
Each year CQPI conducts seminars on patient safety. The seminars are located on the
Innovations in Medical Education Video Library.
History
Sparked by the international quality revolution, CQPI was founded in 1985 by Professor George E.P. Box and the late Professor William G. Hunter. Since then, we have led the development of new techniques for improving the quality of products and processes.
