Effective August 23, 2026
1. Acceptance
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website.
2. Informational and Professional Audience
QII provides research, frameworks, analysis, and general information for healthcare executives, quality leaders, researchers, technology organizations, and other professional audiences. Website content is not medical advice, patient-specific guidance, legal advice, regulatory advice, accounting advice, or a substitute for qualified professional judgment.
3. No Professional or Client Relationship
Use of the website, downloading a publication, or submitting an inquiry does not create a consulting, clinical, legal, fiduciary, business-associate, partnership, or other professional relationship. Any QII engagement requires a separate written agreement.
4. No Patient or Confidential Information
5. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, QII owns or licenses the website content, publications, frameworks, names, logos, graphics, and other materials. You may view, download, and print public materials for lawful internal, educational, or evaluative use, provided attribution and proprietary notices remain intact. You may not republish, sell, modify, create misleading derivatives from, remove notices from, or use QII materials to imply endorsement without written permission.
6. Permitted Use
You agree not to disrupt the website, bypass security, introduce malicious code, scrape at a rate that impairs service, misrepresent identity or affiliation, infringe rights, or use content unlawfully. QII may restrict access when reasonably necessary to protect the website or others.
7. Research Limitations
QII seeks to use controlled evidence and publication governance, but research evolves. Publications may contain limitations, assumptions, publication-date boundaries, and areas of uncertainty. Users are responsible for validating information for their particular facts, regulatory environment, decisions, and risk tolerance.
8. Third-Party Content and Links
Links and references are provided for convenience and research context. QII does not control and is not responsible for third-party sites, availability, accuracy, security, or privacy practices. A reference does not necessarily constitute endorsement.
9. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and public content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement, or results from use. Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty that cannot lawfully be excluded.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, QII will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, opportunities, or goodwill arising from website use. Liability that cannot lawfully be limited remains subject to applicable law.
11. Changes
QII may update the website and these terms. The effective date identifies the current version. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
