The Armstrong Institute’s three-day observership gives health care leaders a window into Johns Hopkins Medicine’s programs for delivering consistently safe, high quality and high-value care. Through presentations, facility tours and small-group meetings with Johns Hopkins Medicine leaders, participants gain insights for embedding health care improvement efforts into their organizations. They head home with a deeper understanding of the structures, strategies and resources needed to take patient safety and quality of care to the next level.
