Mary, Ruthpearl, and Lydia have a dream that all hospitals on our continent will become a learning healthcare system – creating a continuous, collaborative journey of improvement at every level of care. It’s not an impossible dream. Through the ACQUIRE theory and experiential leadership program, hundreds of healthcare workers use a systematic process to determine the root cause of problems and explore, test, and deploy solutions to make sustainable improvements in their institutions.  

But it’s more than just evidence-based practice—it’s also about people who care. A true learning healthcare system stays flexible, ready to adapt and innovate as new challenges arise. By aligning technology, workforce development, and a commitment to patient-centered care, we can turn lessons learned into meaningful progress—improving quality, patient safety, and equity for all.

This is our vision, and it’s at the heart of everything we do at ACQUIRE. Together, we’re not just building a healthcare system; we’re building trust, resilience, and a future where quality care is a reality for everyone.
