IHI’S INVITATION: LET’S BROADEN OUR WORK TO IMPACT HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE
This year’s Forum reflects the broadening mission of health care to address social determinants of health; improve the health of populations; improve access and outcomes and equity for communities that have often been marginalized; and attend to the human side of care by providing both person-centered care plans and a physical and psychologically safe environment for the workforce. At the same time, the Forum remains grounded in presenting the latest thinking in improvement science and building the skills necessary among the health care workforce to embed a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
The 2019 IHI National Forum on Quality Improvement in Health Care provides a stellar platform to hear about successes and challenges and to harness evidence-based solutions to some of the biggest issues facing health and health care in the US and throughout the world.
