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.
