Quality Chasm Summit: A Focus On Communities Softcover, 176 pages
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) hosted the 1st Annual Crossing the Quality Chasm Summit, convening a group of national and community health care leaders to pool their knowledge and resources with regard to strategies for improving patient care for five common chronic illnesses. This summit was a direct outgrowth and continuation of the recommendations put forth in the IOM report Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century. This summit's purpose was to offer specific guidance at both the community and national levels for overcoming the challenges to the provision of high-quality care articulated in the Quality Chasm report and for moving closer to achievement of the patient-centered health care system envisioned therein. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) is a not-for-profit organization driving the improvement of health by advancing the quality and value of health care. IHI is a reliable source of energy, knowledge, and support for a never-ending campaign to improve health care worldwide. We develop and nurture will, energizing a movement for profound change in health care. We spread improvement knowledge across the globe, and provide methods, tools, and other supports, largely through partnerships, for thousands of health care organizations to turn knowledge into improved results. We initiate and support innovation efforts, so as to discover, cultivate, and demonstrate the feasibility of new, more capable, designs. We exercise academic rigor in this work. We work to change the skills, attitudes, and knowledge of the workforce, both in the ongoing development of young professionals and in life-long education, so as to reduce profession-specific silos that limit collaborative effort for the well-being of patients. We seek to improve joy in work, and to help all who work in health care to become better able to help improve care. The Institute of Medicine serves as adviser to the nation to improve health. As an independent, scientific adviser, the Institute of Medicine strives to provide advice that is unbiased, based on evidence, and grounded in science. The mission of the Institute of Medicine embraces the health of people everywhere.
