IHI Leadership Alliance Overview

​



A Dynamic, Collaborative Learning Community for Health Care Executives and Their Teams

​The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Leadership Alliance is a dynamic collaboration of health care executives who share a goal to work with one another as well as in partnership with our patients, workforces, and communities to deliver on the full promise of the IHI Triple Aim.

Alliance Members share generously with one another, confident that by collaborating and learning together, we can individually and collectively get better, faster.

At this critical moment, health care needs leaders with the courage to imagine, design, and scale new models of innovation, collaboration, and governance that can push health care beyond its traditional limits.

The Leadership Alliance provides that space for leaders to transform and innovate health care together and we are committed to rebuilding healthcare from the inside out.
