Integrating Quality
The Integrating Quality (IQ) initiative is an organizational performance
improvement project that was developed to assist AAMC members in
enhancing their dual quality goals of providing outstanding clinical
care today while educating the outstanding physicians of tomorrow.
The initiative includes three phases that were developed using the
AAMC's "Learn, Serve, Lead" model, and involves identifying
and making available key resources and QI strategies, as well as
developing a network of individuals and partner organizations working
to integrate these approaches in their medical centers.
