***********************************************************************************

Come celebrate the past year's successes and help us plan the year ahead!


The Summit will mark the culmination of the 100,000 Lives Campaign and offer important opportunities to all Campaign participants to attend workshops and sessions on each intervention with an eye toward making further improvements and holding the gains.


IHI President and CEO Donald Berwick will, as promised, share the results of the Campaign during his plenary address on June 14. He'll discuss the successes, how to sustain the progress, what comes next and, most importantly, lead us in a special celebration of all that's been accomplished in 18 months.


With our incredible line-up of plenary and miniplenary speakers, you won't want to miss out!

If you can't join us in Atlanta, we'll bring the Summit to you via live satellite broadcast.

 

As part of our ongoing effort to accelerate health care improvement throughout the world, IHI will be transmitting a live satellite broadcast of the Hospital Summit Plenary and Miniplenary presentations on June 13 - 14, 2006.  The real-time and tape-delayed broadcasts include all Plenary sessions, plus Miniplenary sessions.  The broadcast is available in English only.

 

The satellite broadcast provides an excellent opportunity to get all of your employees involved and to spread quality improvement knowledge and excitement throughout your organization.  The benefits of the satellite include reduced costs and travel time with increased visibility of a world-class event throughout your organization.
