The IHI Triple Aim framework – the simultaneous pursuit of better care for individuals, better health for populations, and lower per capita costs – has become increasingly central to discussions of health care improvement. It is now bedrock for several new national policy initiatives, and has become the organizing principle for a new health care world based on delivering value.
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) originated the Triple Aim framework and has piloted its development with leading systems development with leading systems, clinicians, grass roots organizations, and communities around the world, showing how ambitious organizations can get the results they are seeking in all three dimensions.
Starting September 16, 2013, IHI will convene a collaborative learning community to pursue results for designated populations, and for key health issues across geographic communities. We invite you to join us.

Results-Oriented
This collaborative will focus on getting results in all three dimensions of the IHI Triple Aim over 10 months. For example:
- Better health, care, and cost for targeted population segments and the ability to "fund" the work out of cost savings
- Better health for geographically defined population segments without sacrificing care experience or cost, while establishing sustainable regional funding
The Learning Model
Based on IHI’s expertise in convening vibrant learning communities, activities will include:
Guidance from expert faculty on setting up a robust strategy based on the IHI Triple Aim and a portfolio of projects focused on a population (example populations include: medically and socially complex, elderly, children, employees, and chronically ill)
Content such as models of care for key population segments; measurement strategies; testing, implementation, and scale-up; asset-based strategies for community engagement; and activation
A network for senior leaders to build strategic momentum and to ensure effective execution
Coaching to support simultaneous execution of multiple projects working toward the three dimensions of the IHI Triple Aim
Face-to-face learning sessions, WebEx calls, and Extranet support
