Marcia Petrillo is CEO of Qualidigm, a health care consulting and research company founded in 1983. The company’s mission is “to continuously advance improvement in the quality, safety and cost-effectiveness of health care…”
In 1992, Medicare selected Qualidigm, under Petrillo’s leadership, to pilot a new approach to improving health care in hospitals. That approach is now used in nursing homes, home health agencies and physician office practices across the country. Qualidigm’s approach has resulted in significant improvement in the quality and safety of patient care in Connecticut.
Qualidigm applies the same strategies to all initiatives it engages in locally and nationally across public and private sectors.
