A quieter, more thoughtful, and vastly more constructive conversation continues among health care leaders and professionals throughout the country.  Innovative solutions are being designed and implemented at the local level, and countless health care organizations are demonstrating breakthrough remedies to some of the toughest and most expensive challenges in health care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePursuing the Triple Aim\u003c\/i\u003e shares compelling stories that are emerging in locations ranging from Pittsburgh to Seattle, from Boston to Oakland, focused on topics including improving quality and lowering costs in primary care; setting challenging goals to control chronic disease with notable outcomes; leveraging employer buying power to improve quality, reduce waste, and drive down cost; paying for care under an innovative contract that compensates for quality rather than quantity; and much more. The authors describe these innovations in detail, and show the way toward a health care system for the nation that improves the experience and quality of care while at the same time controlling costs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the Triple Aim moves from being largely an aspirational framework to something that communities all across the US can implement and learn from, its potential to become a touchstone for the work ahead has never been greater. \u003ci\u003ePursuing the Triple Aim\u003c\/i\u003e lays out the vision, the interventions, and promising examples of success.\u003c\/p\u003e  Preface vii  \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Authors xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e HealthPartners \u003ci\u003e1\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCare Model Process and Continuous Healing Relationships\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2\u003c\/b\u003e Intel and Virginia Mason Medical Center 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarketplace Collaboratives for Better, Faster, More Affordable Care\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e CareOregon and Affiliated Clinics 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eProducing Health, Changing Lives\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4\u003c\/b\u003e The Alternative Quality Contract 129\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Payment Method Supporting the Triple Aim\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5\u003c\/b\u003e Bellin Health 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eImproving Population Health with the Right Care at the Right Place and the Right Cost\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6\u003c\/b\u003e The Patient and Family Centered Care Methodology and Practice 199\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eImproving Patient Experience and Clinical Outcomes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7\u003c\/b\u003e Kaiser Permanente 231\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmbedding Improvement Capacity into Organizational DNA\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e8\u003c\/b\u003e No Excuses 273\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEffective Leadership to Achieve the Triple Aim\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpilogue 293\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eInnovation Everywhere\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 309\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 315\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo the patients and caregivers working to pursue the Triple Aim and to the amazing caregivers who support us all.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMaureen Bisognano is president and CEO of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
