Leveraging Data and Simulation Training to Improve Care

The 10 years it typically takes for relevant knowledge to make its way out of scientific journals and into the hands of physicians is too long for patients suffering with an illness.

Our Department of Learning Health Sciences is developing a solution to drastically shorten the cycle of health care improvement. 

The aim of this leading-edge initiative is to leverage information generated at the point of care to achieve continuous improvement by providers and better outcomes for patients. We also are training existing and future clinicians through the use of sophisticated simulation tools and approaches. 

Your gift will help us: 

  • Improve the accessibility of biomedical information and rapid sharing of best practices
  • Advance innovative concepts of teaching and learning for health professionals
  • Train researchers and practitioners to lead health system innovation

The need to transform health care in our country is a top priority. As the first-in-the-nation department exploring this innovative work, we are impacting health care at all levels. Your gift will help us create learning health systems that elevate care for everyone.
