The Improvement App

The Improvement App is a simple and effective tool for which helps users identify changes they can make in their day-to-day work that will lead to measurable improvements, and supports them in conducting small, rapid-cycle tests of these changes.

The current version of the app helps improvers navigate the database of change concepts developed to support the MFI. A change concept is a general notion or approach to change which has been found to be useful in developing specific ideas for changes that lead to improvement. With this app you can:

•Browse the full database of 72 change concepts
•Browse multiple examples of how each concept can be applied
•Generate a random concept to spark ideas
•Manage notes for your favorite change concepts

The Improvement App was produced jointly by Associates in Process Improvement (API), who originally developed the MFI, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). API develops methods, works with leaders and teams, and provides education and training to help organizations improve their products and services and to build their capability for ongoing improvement. IHI is a leading innovator, convener, partner, and driver of results in health and health care improvement worldwide. Both API and IHI use the Model for Improvement in all of their improvement efforts.
