• Clinical microsystems, part 1: The building blocks of health systems
  The body of knowledge on clinical microsystems can guide and support innovation and peak performance. This patient-centric view of a health system is the foundation of second-generation development for clinical microsystems.
• Clinical microsystems, part 2: Learning from micro practices about providing patients the care they want and need
  Small, independent practices — micro practices — are incorporating attributes of successful microsystems such as patient focus, process improvement, performance patterns, and information technology to provide patients with the care they want and need.
• Clinical microsystems, part 3: Transformation of two hospitals using microsystem, mesosystem, and macrosystem strategies
  This article describes how two hospitals — a large, urban academic medical center and a rural, community hospital — chose a similar microsystem-based approach to improvement, customizing the engagement and the improvement targets on the basis of an understanding of the local context.
• Quality By Design: A Clinical Microsystems Approach
  This book includes the research results of high-performing clinical microsystems, illustrative case studies that highlight individual clinical programs, guiding principles that are easily applied, and tools, techniques, and methods that can be adapted by clinical practices and interdisciplinary clinical teams.
• System-Minded Design: Optimizing the Microsystem for Workforce Development
  Clinical microsystems are made up of providers and patients, with administrative support and information technology also playing roles; optimizing this group is key to workforce development.
