In December 2004, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement issued a challenge to U.S. hospitals which spawned the 100,000 Lives Campaign.

IHI and organizations that share a common mission were convinced that a remarkably few proven interventions, implemented on a wide enough scale, can avoid 100,000 deaths between January 2005 and July 2006, and every year thereafter. At the conclusion of the first 18 months, the program announced an estimated 122,300 lives saved in over 3,000 hospitals nationwide.
