Our Work

We combine rigorous science with real-world experience to design, implement, evaluate, and spread innovations in care.

Moving research into action, together

Our purpose is both ambitious and simple: to enhance the health of all people and communities by transforming care in ways that are practical, equitable, and evidence-based. To meet this goal, we foster essential partnerships with patients, care teams, health care leaders, researchers, and funders nationwide — forming interdisciplinary teams that work together to:

Harness advanced analytics, rapid evaluation methods, and other unique scientific capabilities to design, test, and implement innovations in care that improve patient outcomes and system performance.
Incorporate diverse perspectives from patients, families, and communities into program design and implementation to ensure solutions are built around real-world needs.
Serve as a bridge between researchers and health care organizations to translate evidence into actionable, scalable strategies to improve health care delivery and population health.
Drive rapid-cycle learning and integration of research findings into clinical practice by partnering directly with care teams to ensure improvements are not only adopted, but embedded and sustained across systems.
