IHI Project Seeks Care Delivery Innovations to Help Nurses Thrive

Abstract

This article describes an Institute for Health Improvement (IHI) project to improve care delivery in ways that will help nurses thrive. The American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) has been a key partner in this work, serving as a stakeholder of the Nurse Staffing Think Tank, whose report, referenced below, helped to show the need for such an initiative. AONL participated in the expert panel that helped to develop the recommendations guiding this work and continues to spread the findings of the IHI project through AONL committee work, IHI presentations at AONL events, and a learning community sponsored by the American Hospital Association and AONL.
