About: How Will the Blueprint be Utilized?

Phase I of the Blueprint offers practical guidance and actions for stakeholders seeking to improve healthcare quality, safety and efficiency across any of the five areas that comprise the Blueprint. It also identifies issues on which consensus was not reached. Over the next twelve months—as part of Phase II of the process eHI will widely disseminate the Blueprint and gain even further input from a wide variety of stakeholders at the national and local levels, as they consider incorporating the Blueprint’s strategies and actions into their own agendas and plans. As organizations strive to operationalize the Blueprint, their feedback will be invaluable in refining and improving these actions in a way that promotes their practical use over time.

During Phase II, eHI will also support implementation of the recommended actions by appropriate organizations, including eHI, as well as track and report on progress, lessons learned and best practices in relevant areas throughout the coming year.

Finally, eHI will encourage national dialogue on those areas for which there is not consensus and actively engage in the deliberation, offering the divergent perspectives gained during the eHI Blueprint development process.

The eHI Blueprint is intended to be a living document and stakeholders are encouraged to regularly visit this site for updated strategies, actions and timelines.
