About Us

Who We Are
Patient Quality Alliance (PQA) is a physician-led clinically integrated network made up of providers and facilities within southeast Idaho who are committed to providing high-quality medical care at an affordable price.

How will PQA benefit me?
By receiving care from a PQA provider, you will have access to better, more coordinated medical care and the best treatment possible, right here in your community. Information regarding your care will be more efficiently shared among providers due to PQA’s integrated electronic medical records systems. This will help reduce unnecessary tests and duplication of services while still safeguarding your privacy. PQA providers will collaborate to ensure that you receive the right care at the right time, and only when you need it. They will also strive to engage you in the process through shared decision-making.
