AHA: Hospitals in Pursuit of Excellence

Hospitals in Pursuit of Excellence is a resource for healthcare performance improvement professionals created by the American Hospital Association.

The site provides some information about the IOM 6 aims or dimensions of healthcare quality. However, the vast majority of the content is case studies of how other hospitals have addressed common issues that we all have; ie hospital aquired infections, patient throughput, patient safety, etc...

This is a great place to start if you are about to launch a performance improvement project.

"Hospitals in Pursuit of Excellence is a strategic platform to identify and
disseminate field-tested practices, proven strategies, tools and resources that
can support and advance hospital leaders’ ongoing efforts to achieve performance
excellence— care that meets the 6 IOM aims— safe, timely, efficiency,
effectiveness, equity and patient-centered."
