The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced two new structural measures that will help make care safer and better for millions of people in hospitals. The measures were directly informed by IHI’s work on the National Action Plan to Advance Patient Safety and Age-Friendly Health Systems and together they represent a transformational shift in the policy landscape for patient safety and caring for older adults. IHI President and CEO Dr. Kedar Mate wrote about how IHI supports hospitals preparing for these new measures in a blog published on IHI.org. Read the full blog here: https://bit.ly/4cxjHYd

We all need camaraderie, a sense of belonging and shared purpose. This need for purpose and a community of likeminded folks is even more important for health care executives, who experience high rates of burnout. In June 2024, IHI launched a Chief Quality Officer (CQO) Network. This leadership community provides a platform for quality and safety executives worldwide to come together, forge connections, and foster collaboration.

Josh Clark, VP of quality and safety operating systems at IHI, recently sat down with Healthcare Innovation for a Q&A on IHI's Care Operating System work—an improvement approach that focuses on fixing systems, rather than people.
