Promotional Media Toolkit – Easily Promote Your Facility!
This package was developed to help you promote your decision to participate with Superior Health Quality Alliance. You may use the tools to announce your participation to the public, your staff, clients/patients/residents, stakeholders and more.
Sharing your participation internally can help build excitement, participation and buy-in. Sharing your participation externally lets the public know your organization cares about them and is willing to dedicate resources to be at the forefront of improving care and their health care experience.
All the materials have been created to allow for fast and easy localization for self-promotion. You may choose to use any of the materials that fit your needs. Simply localize the materials with the appropriate information about your organization in the marked spaces.
The Promotional Media Toolkit is password-protected – you can find the password in the October 2020 issue of our Collaborator e-newsletter.

- Increase quality of care transitions through engagement of community coalitions to reduce unnecessary emergency department visits and increase medication safety.
- Increase chronic disease prevention and self-care for those living with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
- Increase patient safety including reducing adverse drug events and healthcare-related infections.
