This year marks the 20th
anniversary of the IHI Summit, which brings together improvers from
across the US who are working hard to make primary care a more reliable
and effective system for patients and staff alike. At the Summit,
clinicians and those who interface with patients in the primary care
setting can hone their improvement skills and learn what’s working in
settings that are similar to their own. The Summit also functions as a
catalyst for new ideas and a sounding board for health professionals now
very much in the midst of refining approaches to team-based care,
integrating behavioral health, treating and supporting patients with
complex needs, incorporating population health into the mission,
improving workforce joy, and providing high-value health care.
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS:
IHI will lead a session on Age-Friendly Health Systems, an exciting initiative of The John A. Hartford Foundation and IHI in partnership with the American Hospital Association and Catholic Health Association of the United States. The initiative offers strategies for care that benefit older adults, called the 4Ms Framework for Age-Friendly Care – focused on medication, mobility, mentation, and what matters to patients. Some 125 teams from 70 health systems are engaged in this work, which promises to spread to 1,000 hospitals and 1,000 primary care settings by the end of 2020.
