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.

Reducing Birth-Related Trauma and Liability Exposure
Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network (Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA) reduces birth-related trauma through their work as part of a Perinatal Innovation Community.

Seton Family of Hospitals: Where the Birth Trauma Rate Is Essentially Zero
Many mothers are having perfect babies these days in the Seton Family of Hospitals, thanks in part to a new protocol that has dramatically reduced the number of babies born with traumas or injuries associated with induced births.

Improving Safety Within the Birth Center
Increased reliability in the Birth Center makes perinatal care safer at HealthPartners Regions Hospital (St. Paul, Minnesota, USA).

For Better Perinatal Outcomes: Practice and Prepare
Fairview Southdale Hospital (Edina, Minnesota, USA) uses simulation training to help improve perinatal outcomes. The project was inspired by a Joint Commission report estimating that 72 percent of perinatal sentinel events — incidents creating serious patient harm or the potential for serious harm — are rooted in communication breakdowns.
