Pursuing the triple aim: seven innovators show the way to better care, better health, and lower costs

Written by the President and CEO of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and a leading health care journalist, the book answers the question: Howcan we achieve the Triple Aim - quality care for every patient, improved health for the population, while lowering per capita costs? Innovative health careorganizations around the country are demonstrating answers with breakthrough solutions to some of the toughest and most expensive challenges in health care. Pursuing the Triple Aim shares compelling stories that are emerging in locations ranging from Pittsburgh to Seattle, from Boston to Oakland, focused on topics including improving quality and lowering costs in primary care; applying challenging chronic disease control measures with notable outcomes; leveragingemployer buying power to improve quality, reduce waste, and drive down cost; paying for care under an innovative contract that compensates for quality rather than quantity; and much more. The authors describe these innovations, prescribe a model for their spread, and measure the potential impact of these changes on both the health of our nation and on cost savings.
