Description of CME Course
The first four IHI Open School quality improvement courses taught you basic improvement methodology, which you can apply to improve health care processes and make care safer. But when you assume a leadership role in a clinical improvement project, you’ll need more than just technical knowledge.
In the real world, you’ll need to know the steps for managing the project through to completion. You’ll need to understand the psychology of change, and you’ll need skills in interdisciplinary teamwork. In the real world, the human side of quality improvement — that is, the ability to rally constituents around the cause of improvement — is every bit as important as having a good idea for change.
The IHI Open School offers a range of online courses created by world-renowned faculty in improvement capability, patient safety, triple aim for populations, person- and family-centered care, leadership, and quality, cost, and value. Each course takes approximately 1 to 2 hours to complete and consists of three to five lessons that end with assessments.
Diplomate Engagement
Learners must complete the course and achieve a passing score of 75% on each post-lesson assessment to receive a certificate of completion.
