The Institute for Healthcare Improvement has developed and adapted a suite of tools to help organizations accelerate their work in spreading improvements made at the local level across the system. In addition, many organizations have developed tools in the course of their spread efforts — for example, successful protocols, order sets and forms, instructions and guidelines for implementing key changes — and are making them available on IHI.org for others to use or adapt in their own organizations. We invite you to submit tools you have found useful!
The tools below are grouped according to the components of the Framework for Spread.
