Health Policy Research
The focus of the Department of Health Policy Research is to improve the quality and reduce the cost of health care. We have approached this task in many innovative ways, including:
- Finding ways to prevent the development of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and depression
- Helping patients with these chronic illnesses better manage their condition
- Using information technology to promote evidence-based care
- Developing strategies for involving the community in health improvement
- Evaluating novel payment strategies for physicians and care providers that foster disease prevention and care coordination
