Expeditions are two- to four-month, interactive, web-based programs. IHI will launch one Expedition per month (on average) and your Passport membership entitles you to join as many of these as you would like so your front-line teams can make rapid improvements in some of the areas of greatest concern to hospitals today. Hospitals can "direct enroll" in any one Expedition program for $750.
