Our purpose

Why Change Healthcare?

Patient harm is the fourteenth leading cause of morbidity & mortality in the world. We believe the majority of patient harm is due to system & process failures in care delivery. The problems existent in healthcare delivery urgently require a systems approach - not an individual one.

Finding the Missing
Link to Healthcare Improvement

Our process does not replace current quality improvement projects at your hospital but supplements or enhances the work already being done. Many of our Collaborative members have found this process to be the missing link to their long struggle in implementing lasting change.

"Before we just had high level data around why patients were dying in our healthcare system. Now I can tell you specifically what percent have Opportunities for Improvement regarding end of life care, misdiagnosis, futile treatment, delayed treatment and those sorts of things. It’s given us a lot more information to specifically target our improvement efforts."

"It’s not as simple as providing great healthcare. It’s around a great experience. I know this is the way we’re going to weave all of those pieces together and make this the best experience we possible can."

"What we have taken from this process is that ‘standard met’ is a low-bar; we should achieve that all the time. It’s looking at more of what can be done better, how can we do things better, and moving it beyond the bar of ‘standard met.’"

"This is a change to make a positive impact on patients I take care of and to help other care givers do the same whether they’re a nurse, mid-level care provider, or other physician. These are lessons learned that I can actually do something about every single day."
