Value by Design is a practical guide for real-world improvement in clinical microsystems. Clinical microsystem theory, as implemented by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and health care organizations nationally and internationally, is the foundation of high-performing front line health care teams who achieve exceptional quality and value. These authors combine theory and principles to create a strategic framework and field-tested tools to assess and improve systems of care. Their approach links patients, families, health care professionals and strategic organizational goals at all levels of the organization: micro, meso and macrosystem levels to achieve the ultimate quality and value a health care system is capable of offering.

Quality By Design: A Clinical Microsystems Approach

Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

Thrillers & Suspense

Quality by Design reflects the research and applied training conducted at Dartmouth Medical School and The Dartmouth Institute Microsystem Academy under the leadership of health care improvement gurus Gene Nelson, Paul Batalden, and Marjorie Godfrey. It’s an ideal text for teaching the fundamentals of quality improvement in health care, providing a clear linkage of theory to practice. The second edition advances the clinical microsystem theory by addressing the organizational levels of macrosystems (large entities like hospitals and health care organizations) and mesosystems (intermediate levels of a health care organization, such as information systems, service line programs and centers, and clinical departments, which serve as a link between separate microsystems and support the microsystem by acting as a sort of mediator with the larger macrosytem) in more depth. Field-tested teaching techniques and tools for faculty, interprofessional improvement teams, and leaders of health care systems are presented. New and updated illustrative case studies bring the clinical microsystems approach to life.
