The IHI Triple Aim framework describes an approach to optimizing health system performance. It is IHI’s belief that new designs must be developed to simultaneously pursue three dimensions, which we call the “Triple Aim”:

- Improving the health of populations; and
- Reducing the per capita cost of health care.
IHI Triple Aim
