Media Relations
QSource is committed to responding to media inquiries promptly, and to providing as much information as possible to help reporters understand and interpret the news for their readers/viewers/listeners. We welcome all inquiries, whether from the print media, radio or television. We can also provide spokespersons to respond to any additional questions you may have or provide further depth on a particular issue.

QSource maintains a full roster of healthcare professionals who can expand upon a news story, and address many of the clinical and analytic aspects that might be too detailed for a press release. Our professional staff includes administrators, quality improvement experts, physicians, nurses, data analysts, biostatisticians, experts in health information technology, social marketers, and more. Please let us know how this News Room on the Web can be more helpful to you in your work. We welcome your thoughts, ideas and suggestions.
