In this cooperative agreement, the

testing new designs of care delivery
systems, leveraging results for
thousands of patients, and creating a
system-wide emphasis on improvement.

Sfmt 4703
The IHI’s senior leaders and faculty will
work closely with the senior leadership
team of the Indian health care system to
design an improvement strategy to meet
the following agreed upon aims:
To test adaptations and innovations in
chronic conditions management in the
IHS.
• To develop a strategy for spreading
the lessons learned to all IHS sites as
well as Tribal and urban sites.
• To create a more robust
improvement infrastructure.
• To nurture the image of the IHS as
an innovator in healthcare by
publicizing successes.
Leadership is the critical driver for
change and the IHI will work with the
IHS, Tribal and Urban health programs
leadership to build a culture and
structure to support improved levels of
performance in the delivery of health
care. The IHI and the IHS will work
collaboratively to build new models of
care and care processes, with the intent
of disseminating such learning and
‘‘best practices’’ throughout the Indian
health care system. The IHS will have
the opportunity to showcase the results
of this work by publishing them on
shared websites as well as in jointly
authored publications.
II. Justification
The IHI is a non-profit organization
that is leading improvement in health
care throughout the world. IHI has
unparalleled experience and expertise
in working with health systems that care
for underserved populations to improve
the quality of care for their patients and
build capacity for continuing
improvement. IHI developed and
employs a Breakthrough Series
methodology (Learning Model
Collaborative) to provide programmatic
guidance and focus through coordinated
training and support, communication,
E:\FR\FM\30JAN1.SGM

and sharing of lessons learned. They are
world leaders in this area and have
worked with other programs in similar
settings to improve chronic illness
systems of care for underserved and
vulnerable populations, including the
Health Resources and Services
Administration/Bureau of Primary
Health Care’s health center program for
eight years. The IHI’s intellectual capital
and operational capacity are essential to
the IHS. The IHI has the resources and
access to an international network of
experts in the area of chronic disease
management and implementing chronic
care models in various settings. Most
other improvement agencies and
organizations focus on specific steps
and methodologies while IHI takes a
much more comprehensive and strategic
approach to improvement. Over the past
15 years they have become the
recognized world leader in system
change in healthcare. They have moved
beyond the specifics of software into
process development using a variety of
techniques to make the best use of
technologies and existing organizational
capabilities. Their methodologies
include improvement advisors who act
as peer to peer coaches for organizations
implementing change. This personal
approach and the IHI’s considerable
expertise are critical to expand existing
Indian Country efforts, where personal
connection and effective relationships
are often the difference between project
success and failure.
This single source cooperative
agreement will allow IHS to expedite
learning from their organization as well
as expedite access to IHI’s vast network
of strategic partners.
