IHI’s National Forum
I got a brochure the other day about the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s (IHI) National Quality Forum, December 9-12 in Orlando, FL. This is IHI’s big annual conference that is attended by 5,000+ healthcare professionals.
I attended the National Forum last year and found it extremely valuable. Although some of the sessions were too “hands-on” for me (not being a healthcare clinician or manager), the keynote speakers were top-notch and the networking outstanding.
The Center is working with IHI to imbed some of our research and thinking about how the environment impacts safety into its materials and information. Most likely, there will be some sessions on the built environment at the IHI National Forum, but the focus is mostly on improving clinical excellence and process.
For more information on the Forum, go to www.ihi.org. Maybe I’ll see you there!
