The IHI Improvement Map brings together the best knowledge available on the key process improvements that will lead to exceptional hospital care.  This online tool will offer clear guidance through an often confusing health care landscape, helping hospitals set change agendas, establish priorities, organize work, and optimize resources.

IHI released a prototype version of the Improvement Map on June 15, 2009. The prototype has some, but not all, of the content and features planned for the version publicly launching in September 2009.

Join Passport and learn how you can be part of the select group of organizations who will test and use the Improvement Map prototype before its public launch.

View the screenshots below for a sneak peek at what the Improvement Map will look like.  (Note:  The images below are for previewing only; the Map will not be fully functional until September.)
