CHPR Mission and Goals

Our mission at CHPR is to facilitate research, promote education, and inform policy about health and healthcare.

The goal we are striving to accomplish through this mission is to improve the health of the public by contributing new knowledge about access, delivery, cost, quality, and outcomes related to healthcare and providing rigorous evidence to policymakers and other stakeholders.

Our current research emphases include studies of clinician-patient interactions, and of healthcare disparities, utilization, cost-effectiveness and quality measurements.

CHPR executes its mission through:

• Interdisciplinary and Collaborative Research: We develop, support and participate on health services research teams and projects
• Education and Career Development: We educate, train and support the careers of scholars with interests in health services and health policy research
• Research Synthesis and Dissemination: We synthesize, interpret and disseminate research findings to inform clinical care, delivery of health services, and health-related policies
