Patients and health care meet in small living, adapting "front line" systems called microsystems — small, interdependent groups of people who work together regularly to provide care for specific groups of patients. This website, developed by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, features concrete ways to further understand, develop, assess, and improve clinical microsystems.

In addition, the site has information on the 2003 Microsystem Fall Invitational Film Festival. The Film Festival explored ways to use film to share experiences, teaching methods, knowledge, emotions, and collaborative practice to improve clinical microsystems and improve health care.
