White papers are articles submitted by experts in the healthcare improvement field and discuss the many issues that we examine in the class. Many of these authors are the faculty (presenters) at the IHI Forum. This highly acclaimed conference draws over 6,000 healthcare workers from some 42 countries. The IHI staff and presenters are the best in the healthcare improvement field.
