IHI created the Breakthrough Series — an improvement method that relies on spread and adaptation of existing knowledge to multiple settings to accomplish a common aim — to accelerate improvement worldwide through the use of Collaboratives. The Breakthrough Series College is a powerful way to help organizations like yours adapt these proven methods to spread outstanding improvements in your organization.

The three-day College Session is designed to prepare participants for Collaborative start-up within four months, and includes intensive one- to four-hour workshops on the following topics:

• Collaboratives: How and why they work

• Topic selection

• Developing key technical content

• Preparing teams to participate

• Teaching the Model for Improvement

• Developing and running Learning Sessions

• Supporting teams during Action Periods

• Spreading improvement

• Science of improvement

   

The Breakthrough Series College prepares participants for two key roles: Director and Improvement Advisor. You will build on this foundation during the year through conference calls, an email listserv, and access to the College website.
