Improvement Stories

IHI spotlights the achievements of health care organizations working to improve patient care. We write about these achievements in story form to provide in-depth accounts of what it's like to make changes on the front lines of care. We hope that the improvement stories on IHI.org offer valuable models that others can build upon in their own organizations. Many of these stories are featured in our annual Progress Report.

 

If you would like to submit a detailed description of your improvement team's work, we encourage you to submit an Improvement Report.

 

IHI reviews Improvement Stories for clear presentation of tests of change and graphic representation of results. However, IHI does not verify these results; we encourage you to contact these organizations to learn more.
