Institute for Quality Leadership

2008 Annual Conference: Transforming Systems of Care
On September 24-27, 2008 leaders in healthcare quality gathered in Dallas, Texas for AMGA’s 2008 Institute for Quality Leadership Annual Conference. The focus of the conference was confronting the challenges of changing the healthcare system, recognizing that what needs to be brought to the debate regarding how this change should be accomplished is the need for a revolution in the way we organize and deliver health care.

To further this dialogue, the 2008 IQL Annual Conference explored concrete ways of transforming healthcare delivery, with organizations sharing how they have actually changed the way they deliver care in meaningful and sustainable ways – making health care better for each patient they serve.

What is the Institute for Quality Leadership?
The Institute for Quality Leadership (IQL) is devoted to improving the quality of care delivered in the U.S. healthcare system through the advancement of knowledge and the education of healthcare professionals. Its programs are designed to help healthcare organizations improve clinical quality, patient safety, service, and operational efficiency, and to share best practices in patient care. The IQL is supported by the American Medical Group Association (AMGA) and its 501(c)3 philanthropic affiliate, the American Medical Group Foundation (AMGF). For more than 50 years, the AMGA has been the most effective voice in advocating for the multispecialty medical group model of coordinated care delivery. The members of the AMGA are world leaders in quality improvement and have embraced the need to transform the healthcare system. Through innovation and leadership, these medical practices are rising to the challenge put forth by the Institute of Medicine to redesign patient care delivery systems to provide patients the care they need, want, and deserve. To support their efforts, the AMGF was formed as the philanthropic arm of the AMGA to develop grant programs, quality awards, research and education programs and to provide support for initiatives that exemplify the continuing quest for quality care. The AMGF is the primary supporter of the Institute for Quality Leadership Annual Conference and the AMGA’s quality improvement activities.
