UON Chapter.
IHI Open School Chapters are face-to-face, interprofessional groups located on university campuses or in health care organizations. These Chapters create a forum for like-minded health care students, residents, and professionals to interact and help each other gain skills to improve care. IHI Open School Chapters provide opportunities to learn about quality improvement and improving care for patients, to network with peers, to connect with engaged and supportive faculty, and to accomplish scholarly activities, such as publishing and presenting improvement work.
The UON Chapter is being run through the University of Newcastle, Australia.
