IHI.org has two types of Improvement Stories:

  • IHI.org Stories that describe the changes and results in specific organizations.
  • Improvement Project Reports from IHI.org users that describe improvement projects in their organizations.

We all learn from others' experiences testing and implementing changes in real settings — who should be on the team; what measures were tracked; which changes worked best or didn't work at all; and what lessons were learned.

Improvement Project Reports, submitted by IHI.org users, accelerate our learning. In the spirit of "all teach, all learn," we encourage you to share your Improvement Report with the IHI.org community. Please click the Submit an Improvement Report button below.
