CQO & The Triple Aim: Supply Chain's Strategic Connection

By AHRMM

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Triple Aim is a framework developed to describe an approach to optimizing health system performance.

The Triple Aim calls for:

  1. Improving the patient experience of care (including quality and satisfaction)
  2. Improving the health of populations; and
  3. Reducing the per capita cost of healthcare.

Clear and important connections can, and should, be made between the Cost, Quality, and Outcomes (CQO) Movement and the goals of the Triple Aim. The AHRMM Board of Directors has crafted a concise, informative graphic to demonstrate where and how the healthcare supply chain positively impacts the goals of the Triple Aim. Healthcare supply chain professionals should review and familiarize themselves with this information in order to demonstrate supply chain’s essential role in pursuing the Triple Aim. 

Also, be sure to check out AHRMM resources aligned with components of the Triple Aim.
