What is the aim of the campaign?
The 100,000 Lives Campaign is a nationwide initiative launched by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) to significantly reduce morbidity and mortality in American health care. Building on the successful work of health care providers all over the world, we are introducing proven best practices across the country to help participating hospitals extend or save as many as 100,000 lives. With your help, IHI and its partners in this work believe it’s possible to achieve this in 18 months (January 2005 through June 2006) and in every year thereafter.
