2012 Improvement Science Summit - Improvement Science Research Network

2012 Summer Institutes on Evidence-Based Quality Improvement

Date: July 17 – 21, 2012
Location: Grand Hyatt Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX

The Improvement Science Summit is the official conference of the Improvement Science Research Network (ISRN). Philosophically aligned with the NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program, the goals of the ISRN are to accelerate improvement by conducting interprofessional landmark multisite studies and to enhance translation of research findings into health care.

Transforming health care through quality improvement and patient safety initiatives is a national priority. This innovative 1 1/2 day conference focused on advancing healthcare improvement.

This project was supported by grant number R13HS021834 from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
