Healthcare Management
The Learning Healthcare System
Seven years ago, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on the Quality of Health Care in America released its first report, To Err Is Hu- man, finding that an estimated 44,000 to 98,000 Americans may die an- nually due to medical errors. If mortality tables routinely included medical errors as a formal cause of death, they would rank well within the ten leading killers (IOM 2000). Two years later, the Committee released its final report, Crossing the Quality Chasm, underscoring the need for redesigning health care to address the key dimensions on which improvement was most needed: safety, effectiveness, patient centeredness, timeliness, efficiency, and equity (IOM 2001). Although these reports sounded appropriate alerts and have triggered important discussion, as well as a certain level of action, the performance of the healthcare system remains far short of where it should be.
