Improving Quality and Safety in Healthcare.

Improvement activities are complex initiatives that require synergistic actions by organizations to be sustained. This evolving "Elements" series provides background, evidence, and discussion on interdisciplinary strategies known to affect quality and safety such as implementation science, measuring improvement, and learning health systems. The reports align with the strategic efforts of the THIS.Institute (The Healthcare Improvement Studies Institute) aiming to improve health care through the creation of effective implementable evidence.
