The HCI Improvement Database makes information about tested improvement strategies and interventions available through an openly accessible, web-based knowledge management system. The database features Improvement Reports, which are short reports about a specific health care improvement experience; Collaborative Profiles, which are descriptions of actual improvement collaboratives and include tools and related information of interest to those who want to implement a similar collaborative; and publications and other types of resources related to health care improvement, including both those published by the USAID Health Care Improvement Project as well as those of many other organizations working in improvement worldwide.

This portal site was designed to provide an open forum for sharing best practices, successes, challenges, tools, and lessons that could be useful for others to improve health care. Any registered site user may contribute Improvement Reports and Collaborative Profiles to this database. While the HCI Project will make efforts to ensure that contributed reports are complete, the project cannot assure the validity of all results reported. Improvement Reports, Collaborative Profiles, and other information highlighted on this site are provided as a resource for health care providers and those engaged in improvement activities.
