Abstract
To address the discrepancy in the quality of care and outcomes between cystic fibrosis centers (CFCs) in high-income countries and limited resources countries (LRCs), a collaboration between our team at the University of Michigan CFC (UMCFC) and a CF center in Turkey (Marmara University CFC [MUCFC], Istanbul) was established. The collaboration included evaluation of all aspects of care and initiation of quality improvement (QI) measures. Teaching and implementing QI tools has led to start of improvement in MUCFC care. Close monitoring and sharing resources like UMCFC algorithms, protocols, and QI processes were done.
