In December 2004, IHI (the Institute For
Healthcare Improvement) unveiled the 100,000 Lives Campaign, which
seeks to enroll
up to 2,000 US hospitals in an 18-month effort to implement changes
in patient care that have been proven to prevent avoidable deaths.
At this stage of the effort, there are six interventions IHI and its
founding partners are asking hospitals to make a reliable part of
health care delivery: Rapid Response Teams, appropriate and reliable
care for AMI, preventing Adverse Drug Events, preventing surgical
site infections, central line infections, and ventilator-associated
pneumonia. Details are available at:
http://www.IHI.org/IHI/Programs/Campaign/.
As the Campaign ramps up this winter (over 800 hospitals have
enrolled so far!), IHI wants to explore effective ways to engage
patients and families in this effort.
At minimum, they wish to develop
some outreach materials that will enlarge
the community of stakeholders, and offer some concrete steps
patients and families can take to increase the odds that their
health care is aligned with the optimal care at the heart of the
100,000 Lives Campaign.
