This program evaluation explores the current state of quality improvement (QI) education and coaching for nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs). A year-long pilot program engaged a cohort of 6 NPs, 3 PAs, and 1 doctor of physical therapy in monthly 1-hour didactic sessions, addressing the educational gap in QI competencies. The program enhanced the QI competencies, confidence, and leadership skills with the NP and PA participants, who reported adopting QI methodologies within their roles and expressing high satisfaction. The program empowered NPs and PAs to lead process changes and grow as health care leaders.

People experiencing homelessness face heightened risk of heat-related illness owing to chronic health conditions, medication use, and limited access to water, rest, and shade. This article introduces the Heat Illness–Homeless Exposure Assessment Tool (HI-HEAT), developed to support risk assessment and triage during extreme heat. The tool synthesizes physiologic, behavioral, and environmental risk factors into a structured checklist. Individuals are categorized as low, moderate, or high risk to guide intervention. HI-HEAT is intended for use by clinicians and outreach teams. Although further validation is needed, this tool addresses a critical gap in care for a vulnerable and underserved population.
