Survey

Now that you've completed the Improvement Map Gap Analysis . . .

Please complete this one-page survey so IHI can learn more about how the Improvement Map Gap Analysis is helping guide hospitals on their improvement path. How do you plan to use the knowledge gained from doing the Gap Analysis? Where are you succeeding? What areas do you find most challenging?

How do you plan to use your Gap Analysis results, e.g., use it as a quality dashboard to present at quarterly board meetings?

Completing the Gap Analysis should have helped you identify areas in which your organization has had success and areas that pose challenges. Indicating your results below will help IHI better understand the challenges and successes emerging from current improvement efforts underway across the country. IHI will use the input we receive to continuously develop tools and resources for organizations like yours.
