Improving healthcare is complex.
The UPMC Center for High-Value Health Care generates knowledge and insights for diverse stakeholders seeking solutions to today’s pressing healthcare challenges
The Center is embedded within UPMC’s integrated delivery and finance system (IDFS) and convenes specially trained staff from across UPMC as well as colleagues from renowned research institutions, community groups, advocacy and trade organizations, foundations, and funding agencies to improve the ways in which healthcare is delivered to people and communities. We work through patient-centered outcomes research, comparative effectiveness studies, program evaluations, implementation science, and patient and community engagement activities to help our stakeholders understand the impact of new and existing care delivery and payment models on important healthcare outcomes within UPMC and beyond. Stay up to date on the Center’s research, program evaluation, and stakeholder engagement activities by viewing our latest news updates, results, and published materials.
