Reliability Notes

Wikipedia is a secondary summary, useful for organizational scale and the Obama citation but not for program history or measured outcomes. Still needed for the Intermountain Clinical Quality Improvement page: official Intermountain Healthcare Delivery Institute / Advanced Training Program material, archived program descriptions, National Academy or IHI profiles, and peer-reviewed outcome papers (see Source: How Intermountain Trimmed Health Care Costs (Health Affairs, 2011) and Source: Integrated Team-Based Care at Intermountain (JAMA, 2016) for what is already sourced).

This source does not establish claims drawn from health-policy journalism.
