Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement (ICSI) Launches New Service To Help Organizations Transform Health Care
January 7, 2010The Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement (ICSI, www.icsi.org), a nonprofit health care improvement organization, has created a Professional Partnerships group to help medical groups, hospitals, health plans, policy makers and others transform their health care so it is more patient-centered, of higher quality and more affordable. "ICSI's mission has long been to improve the quality and lower the cost of the care that our member organizations deliver," said Nancy Jaeckels, Vice President, Member Relations and Strategic Initiatives. "Establishing ICSI Professional Partnerships enables ICSI members and non-members alike to benefit from our expertise, collaborative processes, and applied approach to health care redesign." ICSI currently serves 56 medical group and hospital members and is sponsored by six health plans in the Upper Midwest. ICSI is known for its leadership in the development of evidence-based health care guidelines and its organizational culture work, and for convening diverse stakeholders to find solutions to health care problems that no single group alone can solve.
