The Coordinating Center (CC) was established in 2021 with leadership from Houston, TX and White River Junction, VT and is physically located within the Houston Center for Innovations in Quality, Effectiveness, and Safety (IQuESt) at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center and Baylor College of Medicine. The Coordinating Center is responsible for the development and execution of a coordinated, cohesive national HPEER program, which includes curricula development and delivery, program evaluation, continuous program improvement, site support and engagement, outreach, and marketing.
