Where do you want to go?
Passport is IHI’s cost-effective membership program designed to help you get where you want to go on your health care improvement journey. When your organization joins Passport, your entire staff gains access to practical tools and expert support to help you reach your improvement goals.
The comprehensive resources provided through Passport membership support your front-line teams as they improve key processes. Passport builds on the IHI Improvement Map – the online, one-stop resource available free of charge. While the IHI Map will help you plan your strategy and prioritize your improvement agenda, Passport membership will help you get it done.

Passport membership gives everyone in your organization invaluable tools, resources, and access to experts to help you meet some of your biggest challenges – all for one low annual fee. (Click here to see samples of resources that are available to members)
