Strategic Initiatives
These cutting-edge initiatives are testing the next wave of innovations to be deployed throughout health care. While these programs are not open for enrollment, we invite all to learn from these efforts.
Strategic Initiatives
New Health Partnerships
Ongoing  The New Health Partnerships initiative seeks to use behavior change and health care system models to develop and test the most effective and efficient approaches for providing support to patients of a sort which enables and encourages greater patient self-management, while at the same time stimulating greater patient engagement in efforts to improve the design and delivery of health care services and systems.
Pursuing Perfection
Ongoing  IHI is the National Program Office for Pursuing Perfection, a major initiative of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, designed to create models of excellence at a select number of provider organizations that are redesigning all of their major care processes.
Safer Patients Initiative
Ongoing  Following a highly competitive UK-wide selection process, 20 hospitals representing the four countries of the UK have joined The Health Foundation’s prestigious Safer Patients Initiative. The hospitals will work in pairs on the safety improvement work and will receive technical assistance from IHI. The teams will build on and learn from the impressive progress being made by the four hospitals already involved in the initiative.
Transforming Care at the Bedside
Ongoing  Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB) is a unique innovation initiative of IHI and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that aims to create, test, and implement changes that will dramatically improve care on medical/surgical units, and improve staff satisfaction as well.
Triple Aim
Ongoing  The Triple Aim is a new IHI learning initiative to better understand new models that can improve the individual patient experience and the health of entire communities, at a reasonable per capita cost.
