Build the Necessary Skills to Lead Quality Throughout Your Organization

Health care organizations need a key asset to achieve system-wide quality: dedicated leaders. ​​Will you be one of them?

If you’re ready to be responsible for quality at the highest levels of your US-based organization, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)’s Chief Quality Officer Professional Development Program will help you develop and refine the skills you need. Whether you’re a Chief Quality Officer (CQO) already or in a quality role with aims to advance, this ​professional development program will enable you to develop the executive leadership skills required to put quality and safety at the top of the priority list for your organization.

If you could benefit from learning these skills and are based in Europe, Australia, or Canada, you may be interested in the IHI Quality Leaders Professional Development Programme.

Agenda

The agenda for the December 2023 offering is available to download:

The IHI Chief Quality Officer Professional Development Program aims to demonstrate how to lead quality at a system level. Several elements need to be in place for that to happen.

At a foundational level, we will teach you how to:

  • Develop Infrastructure: To establish the systems and structures to support strategic quality
  • Create a Culture that Enables and Activates People: Create the activities and environment that support people to act

Once those support structures are in place, the emphasis turns to quality management. You’ll learn how to continuously:

  • Plan: Design a comprehensive approach to understanding and meeting customer needs across populations
  • Improve: Charter and execute improvement breakthroughs with measurable results
  • Sustain: Develop management systems to maintain a predictable and reliable process

Registrants should proceed accordingly and consider travel/lodging cancellation policies — as well as purchasing travel insurance — when incurring such costs. IHI asks registrants to take into consideration the currently evolving situation and advisories related to COVID-19 before incurring travel, lodging, and other costs related to this event.​
