Benefits of the IHI Open School
With a large library of
self-paced courses in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and
French, the IHI Open School brings health care students and professionals from around the world and across disciplines together to learn and join in discussion about the most pressing topics in quality improvement and patient safety — on their own time.
The
Basic Certificate in Quality and Safety, comprising 13 courses (17.75 total hours), provides a well-rounded introduction to quality, safety, population health, equity, health care leadership, and person- and family-centered care.
Advanced courses allow learners to go deeper into each of these topic areas and earn additional continuing education credit hours.
And our
Faculty Guide and library of teaching resources help group leaders engage all types of learners in unique ways.
With a group subscription, administrators can view group members' completion data and take advantage of the exclusive
Educator's Toolkit, including course summaries, teaching slides, assignments, exams, and recommended reading for each course in the Basic Certificate.
