Our Vision
The need to transform health care in our country is a top priority, and researchers rank medical errors as the third leading cause of death. Our first-of-its-kind Department of Learning Health Sciences is helping to revolutionize health systems’ ability to improve care and safety.
We are generating new knowledge about how to drastically reduce the time it takes for a scientific breakthrough to result in improved outcomes for patients. We are developing new tools and approaches to leveraging immense amounts of data as well as state-of-the art simulation technology. And we are training researchers and practitioners who will lead health system innovation into the future. Previously the Department of Medical Education, we are on the leading edge of creating learning health systems, which continuously improve based on their own and others’ discoveries and experiences. We are impacting health care at all levels of scale: from organizations to states and nations.
