Healthcare Improvement Trailblazers (HIT) Community

Together for better healthcare: The overall goal of the HIT Community is to unite leaders in healthcare improvement (HCI) and provide a forum to exchange ideas, promote collaboration, and effect change. The Executive Insight HIT Community hosts both in-person summits and virtual forums to foster dialogue and share insights among leaders in HCI.

Introduction to the HIT Community

While healthcare improvement (HCI) is a focus for many, siloed efforts can result in missed opportunities for a larger impact. The US healthcare system is on an ongoing journey of improvement and implementation set out by recent legislation, with increasing urgency to address critical challenges, including:

• Affordability crisis
• Fragmented health system
• Health disparities

The HIT Community provides a platform to unite stakeholders passionate about solving critical challenges facing US care delivery. Their joint vision: Improve care for patients through collaboration, learning, & action towards sustainable and scalable HCI initiatives. Patient advocacy groups, industry, medical societies, education providers, health insurers, providers, healthcare professionals, and pathway and guideline decision-makers are coming together. Their objectives include: 

1.  Establish the potential of collaborative HCI initiatives to impact US care delivery challenges
2.  Explore opportunities to advance practices to overcome cross-stakeholder barriers
3.  Share ideas and recommendations for powerful HCI initiatives that ignite change

The HIT Summit

The HIT Summit focuses on cutting edge topics related to addressing critical challenges in the US healthcare system, with discussions touching upon quality and care improvement and continued learning and education, framed within US health policy. 

HCI is a high priority topic for the biopharmaceutical, MedTech & diagnostics industry, who have an increasingly vital role to play. As such, we invite biopharmaceutical, MedTech & diagnostics companies to join us at the HIT Summit. We also have exciting sponsorship opportunities available.

HIT 2023: Outcomes Highlights

Following a successful HIT Summit in the US which Executive Insight organized in June 2023, there were three priority challenges identified that required change:

1.  Lack of care coordination
2.  Lack of focus on health equity and patient perspective, and
3.  QI implementation barriers.

Working on these challenges, the HIT community prioritised opportunities, brainstormed quick-win actions to tackle these, and shared best practices.

HIT Community Forum

The HIT Community Forum is a virtual event, which takes place twice every year, and is dedicated to HCI. Since the inaugural 2023 HIT Summit, the HIT Community Forum has provided a valuable opportunity to continue engaging with stakeholders and maintaining momentum towards improving care. These meetings allow stakeholders, including industry, to continue the discussions from the latest HIT Summit and to chart progress in the drive towards better HCI.
