President & CEO, Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Dr. Kedar Mate leads the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, the global organization that developed the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle, the Triple Aim framework, and many of the quality improvement methodologies used across healthcare. Under his leadership, IHI has expanded its focus on health equity, workforce well-being, and safety-net provider support. IHI's improvement science is the operational backbone of quality programs at FQHCs nationwide.
IHI's improvement science is how FQHCs achieve UDS quality benchmarks and demonstrate value to payers. Mate's leadership on PDSA cycles, joy in work, and equitable care design directly applies to health center operations. If your QI team is running improvement projects, they are almost certainly using IHI methods — understanding the source makes you a better leader.
