IHF reference The International Hospital Federation Our vision is a world of healthy communities served by well managed hospitals and health services where all individuals reach their highest potential for health Origins and aims The International Hospital Federation (IHF), successor to the International Hospital Association, established in 1929 after the first International Hospital Congress in Atlantic City, USA, was revived under its new title — International Hospital Federation (IHF) — in 1947. We are an international non-governmental organisation, supported by members from over 100 countries. As the worldwide body for hospitals and healthcare organizations we seek to develop and maintain a spirit of cooperation and communication among them, with the primary purpose of improving patient safety and promoting health in underserved communities. Mission, vision and activities Our vision is to become a world leader in facilitating the exchange of knowledge and experience in health sector management, with our main goals being: ✚ To improve patient care quality around the globe, through the dissemination of evidence-based information. ✚ To collect, collate, publish and facilitate the exchange of information and ideas on best practice in hospital and healthcare management. ✚ To assist in the creation of environments that support organisations in the promotion and delivery of healthcare. ✚ To foster international partnerships that promote interaction among public and private hospitals and healthcare organisations, the community and commercial entities. ✚ To promote and protect the dignity, safety and welfare of patients. This vision is promoted through events, publications, networking and projects in line with our mission and values. These activities prioritize information on leadership and management of hospitals and health services. The IHF is driven by its founding ethos that it is the right of every human being irrespective of geographical, economic, ethnic or social condition to enjoy the best standard in quantity and quality of health and access to hospital and health care services. By promoting this value, IHF supports the improvement of the health of society. The provision of health and health care to all people, recognizes and accepts current best practice in medical standards and patient care as well as the ethical behaviour and standards of integrity required to govern, lead and manage health-care organizations. Membership and communications Through our membership and communications activities we seek to act as a bridge between members in order to facilitate and support cross-fertilization of knowledge and experience in management and leadership of health organizations. Through these activities, we also support the creation of new national hospital associations. Establishing strong and permanent communication between the IHF Secretariat and members is a priority goal. IHF offers three categories of membership: ✚ Full Membership is open to any association or organizational body deemed representative of the national healthcare organizations, in particular but not exclusively hospitals, in a country, a polity or a circumscribed region of the world. ✚ Associate Membership is open to healthcare organizations, in particular but not exclusively hospitals, and other institutions having a distinct relationship with the provision of healthcare, who are not eligible for Full Membership. ✚ Honorary Membership is awarded to persons or organizations who have rendered exceptional services to the IHF. 132 Hospital and Healthcare Innovation Book 2009/2010
