IHI president asks attendees to simplify practices, focus on healing patients
At the IHI’s 20th annual National Forum on Quality Improvement in Health Care in December, attendees from around the globe were challenged to take seriously the idea that they can change the future of healthcare for the better.
Don Berwick, MD, MPP, FRCP, president of the IHI, urged hospitals to take part in its newest campaign, called the Improvement Map. The new campaign builds on the IHI’s previous efforts—the 100,000 Lives and 5 Million Lives campaigns—which focused on reducing unnecessary deaths in hospitals.
The goal of the Improvement Map is to identify and improve hospital work flow processes in order to deliver better patient care.
