Improvement Support Teams

The need to enhance capacity in the Areas and Tribal programs to support the Improving Patient Care program promoted a series of conversations in each Area leading to the design of the Improvement Support Team (IST) and IST Learning Community. This design recognizes that Area and Tribal staff currently function to support improvement in the Indian Health System. The IST Learning Community provides Area and Tribal staff with additional skills and tools they can use in this critical role. All 12 Areas, the Cherokee Nation (Oklahoma) and the Phoenix Indian Medical Center organized Improvement Support Teams.

Below is the list of IST members. Use the form below to filter the list of IST members for a single IHS Service Area.
