Health Care Delivery and Development
Faculty research engages in the implementation sciences with the goal to develop thought-provoking research and scholarship in the areas of Health Care Delivery and Development.
Faculty research emphasizes the discovery of new knowledge, evidence and implementation of interventions to optimize patient, family, community, and health system outcomes.
Students learn through courses and associated projects and the engagement in clinical projects while extending their growth thru the implementation of studies at clinical sites, collaborating with communities and neighborhoods, as well as the development and utilization of new technologies. Research focuses on the development and evaluation of practice models that contribute to optimum patient and family outcomes in a changing healthcare environment.
This focal area includes the following topics:
Policy development, analyses, and implementation at multiple levels, including State, National as well as clinical, and systems related policies.
