Guiding Healthcare Transformation Without Disrupting Care.

Tungsten QI was founded on a simple belief: that healthcare quality improvement transformation is possible without sacrificing patient care.

We understand the pressures because we’ve lived them. Our team of consultants comes from the frontlines of healthcare. We are professionals who know firsthand the challenge of delivering care with inefficient systems, rising demands, and constant change. We know the stakes are high. Every scan, every workflow, every decision can alter the course of a patient’s life.

That’s why we built Tungsten QI Partners to be a different kind of consulting practice. A partner that brings both stability and momentum. We don’t just recommend change; we guide and empower teams to make it real. Our quality improvement methodology and flexible frameworks help healthcare organizations evolve with confidence to preserve the integrity of care while navigating operational, behavioral, and technological transformation.

Our approach combines operational expertise with a human-centered philosophy that aligns people, process, and technology. Because true progress happens when all three work together.

Healthcare is at a breaking point. Outdated technology and fragmented workflows stretch staff thin and put patients at risk. Too often, transformation feels like disruption, destabilizing the very care it’s meant to improve. Tungsten QI exists to impact the way healthcare organizations evolve and quality improvement is sustained.

From transforming stroke care at Stanford to reimagining national mammography programs, our early successes proved that when you empower people with the right structure, space to collaborate, and the courage to improve, lasting change is possible.

At Tungsten QI, we believe transformation starts with people. We meet organizations where they are to support leaders and staff, empowering them to make quality improvement happen. We honor the knowledge, experience, and humanity of everyone involved. Together, we can create sustainable improvement and a stronger healthcare system for all.

Building a stronger, more human healthcare system for all.

We envision a healthcare system where quality improvement transformation is possible without sacrificing patient care. Where leaders and frontline workers are equipped with stability, trust, and collaboration to evolve together toward a shared vision of improved patient outcomes.

Empowering healthcare teams to evolve, improve, and inspire better care.
