ABOUT
TMIT Consulting was founded in 2011 by Jerome Osheroff, MD, FACP, FACMI. He has worked passionately to transform care toward the Quintuple Aim for over 3 decades.
He is a widely recognized leader in synthesizing, disseminating, and applying best practices for improving care by helping people optimize processes, including leveraging technology better.
Osheroff created the influential Clinical Decision Support (CDS) 5 Rights framework and is lead author on 3 best-selling, award-winning guidebooks on putting this framework into action. He pioneered an evolving Health Service Blueprint toolkit (key component here) published on several government websites, including this HRSA-funded Guide to Improving Care Processes and Outcomes. These strategies and tools have informed many care transformation initiatives and roadmaps Osheroff has led.
MAIN FOCUS: THE ACT INITIATIVE
Osheroff / TMIT efforts are culminating in the Accelerating Care Transformation (ACT) Initiative, launched in late 2023. ACT is helping to cross-fertilize and enhance work by other initiatives to accelerate care transformation and learning health systems. The goal is better care processes for acute and chronic conditions and preventive care, starting with targets urgently needing improvement.
Some of the foundations for ACT include:
-
Roadmap for National Action on Clinical Decision Support — presented to HHS Secretary in 2006
-
CDS Collaborative for Performance Improvement — formed in 2011 to help care delivery organizations and their partners 'Get better faster, together'
-
AHRQ evidence-based Care Transformation Support Initiative — produced detailed future vision, concept demonstration, and execution plan 2018–21
-
LHS Collaborative — stakeholder-driven initiative to execute the ACTS Roadmap after AHRQ funding ended; fostered learning communities including one on pain/opioids and one on Sickle Cell Disease
