The 6 AIMS are:
1. Safe-Avoiding preventable injuries, reducing medical errors; Avoid injuries to patients from
the care that is intended to help them. Safety must be at the forefront of patient care.
2. Effective-Providing services based on scientific knowledge (clinical guidelines); Match care
to science; avoid overuse of ineffective care and underuse of effective care.
3. Patient centered-Care that is respectful and responsive to individuals; Honor the individual
and respect choice. Each patient’s culture, social context and specific needs deserve
respect, and the patient should play an active role in making decisions about her own care.

4. Efficient-Avoiding wasting time and other resources; Reduce waste. The health care
system should constantly seek to reduce the waste and the cost of supplies, equipment,
space, capital, ideas, time and opportunities.
5. Timely-Reducing wait times, improving the practice flow; reduce waiting for both patients
and those who give care. Prompt attention benefits both the patient and the caregiver.
6. Equitable-Consistent care regardless of patient characteristics and demographics; Close
racial and ethnic gaps in health status. Race, ethnicity, gender and income should not
prevent anyone from receiving high-quality care.
