IHO

The Institute for Healthcare Optimization (IHO) is an independent not-for-profit 501(c)(3) research, education and service organization focused on bringing the science and practice of operations management to healthcare delivery. The Institute grew out of the work of Boston University's Program for the Management of Variability in Health Care Delivery (MVP) where we originally developed our approach for managing flow variability. Our approach has been successfully applied by many healthcare organizations to simultaneously reduce cost and improve quality of care, contradicting the notion that improving quality and cost of health care has to involve trade-offs... IHO's innovative methodology has been endorsed in different reports by the National Academy of Medicine, the American College of Emergency Physicians, the American Hospital Association, the American Nurses Association, and others. Success stories of IHO clients have been covered by the Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal, Chicago..
