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.

Teleconference with Peter Pronovost, M.D.
On October 27, 2009, the AAMC hosted a teleconference with Dr. Pronovost
on the "Stop BSI" national effort to eliminate central
line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in intensive care
units (ICUs). The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
is supporting efforts to replicate in all 50 states the program
that virtually eliminated CLABSI in 103 ICUs in Michigan. Details
of the program and training materials can be found at www.safercare.net.
