Every year, the National Forum refuels the tanks of leaders of change, from executives to the front line. This conference is the premier "meeting place" for people committed to the mission of providing safe, effective patient care at a reasonable cost. This annual event draws nearly 6,000 health care leaders from around the world to Orlando and this year thousands more via satellite broadcast and IHI TV directly to their computer monitors.
Past National Forum participants have told us:
- "With all the rapid changes in taking place around health care quality, I have often felt overwhelmed. Attending the National Forum is my lifeline - I always return with wonderful ideas to improve patient care at my organization." - Laurie LaFlamme, Quality Improvement Coordinator, Penobscot Valley Hospital, Maine
- "The National Forum sparks a surge of new ideas and allows attendees to think through the whole process of change, with a focus on doing it well." - Lander Cooney, CEO, Community Health Partners, Montana
- "The National Forum gives me great ideas to take home, while recharging my batteries for another year of improvement work." - Richard Gitomer, MD, Chief Quality Officer, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Georgia
