Abstract
Don Berwick MD and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) have set a high bar for training health professionals, and, now their work needs adapting to new technologies. The IHI Breakthrough Series trained countless teams of health professionals to target a topic area for continuing improvement (Institute for Healthcare Improvement, The breakthrough series: IHI’s collaborative model for achieving breakthrough improvement (Innovation Series 2003), 2003). As a result, their training significantly improved the quality of healthcare, reduced costs, and saved millions of lives. One topic area, that is, new communication technologies could follow the IHI model so educators in the health professions can collaborate to systematically improve clinical prevention and population health.
