Why we do quality improvement

We developed our quadruple aim from the Institute of Healthcare Improvement’s Triple Bottom Line. It is the golden thread of our practice, informing the identification and measurement of improvement benefits.

The elements of the quadruple aim are interlinked: delivering benefits in one area will naturally generate benefits in other areas.
