The Improvement Tracker allows you to track any of the measures currently available in the Topics area of IHI.org. Just select the measure you want to track (or create your own custom measure), set your aim, and enter your data. The Improvement Tracker automatically graphs your data. It lets you create reports, and even customize them for various audiences — your team, your CEO, your community.

Improvement Tracker allows you to track predefined standard measures in several topic areas, with more being added periodically. Additionally, you can create your own custom measures to track any data you want!
