The LPQI network uses standard measurement tools to ensure that all LEND programs are evaluated in a consistent way. This allows national averages to be drawn across all participating LEND programs regardless of individual variations in LEND training. LPQI was created to allow for quality improvement across the country and to show the effectiveness of LEND training. It is vital to show consistent benchmarks across all LEND programs.
