  Overview

Improve the Health of the Population…Enhance the Patient Experience of Care…Control the per Capita Cost of Care

 

These are the concurrent goals of healthcare systems that serve populations. Many health care organisations are focused on only one or two of these goals, and may deliver results on one dimension to the detriment of the others. Only by addressing all three can we truly optimise healthcare resources for a population and achieve broad-based, lasting, transformational results. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) refers to these three goals, pursued simultaneously, as the Triple Aim.

 

This groundbreaking two-day seminar will provide healthcare professionals with the opportunity to learn a specific framework for achieving the Triple Aim and to develop a plan for applying the framework to their own organisations. Forty organisations from a variety of countries, including England, Scotland, Sweden, and others, have been successfully testing this framework over the past year. Faculty will use case studies to illustrate the framework and emphasise its application to the specific individuals and populations served by participant organisations.
