Outcomes, Quality & Health Care Performance Research

 

We are committed to measuring and quantifying the outcomes of our patient care so we can assemble both a “big picture” and granular detail plan for continuously improving the quality and performance of the health care we provide. Our interdisciplinary research is focused on improving the outcomes for patients through changing clinical practice, supporting patient decision-making, evaluating innovative invasive therapeutic procedures and promoting education in a non-patient-based environment for surgeons and other health professionals.
