Impact Statements

Impact statements briefly describe the effects of an initiative on certain structures, processes, or outcomes. For AIM, impact statements showcase the effects of state and jurisdiction teams’ AIM patient safety bundle implementation and targeted quality improvement activities on processes of care, patient health outcomes, and other measures of patient safety.

AIM patient safety bundles are frequently implemented by hospital teams as part of state- or jurisdiction-based collaboratives, which are often facilitated by perinatal quality collaboratives. By using collaborative models to implement patient safety bundles, hospital teams can learn from peers and experts while testing changes and making improvements to make a cumulative impact on population health.
