The Center for Health Care Transformation and Innovation (CHTI) at Penn Medicine facilitates the rapid, disciplined development, testing, and implementation of new strategies to reimagine health care delivery for dramatically better patient outcomes, value, and experience.
CHTI comprises six coordinated teams – the Center for Insights to Outcomes, the Center for Health Justice, the Nudge Unit, Way to Health, and the Center for Precision Resource Utilization.
We focus our work in four areas:
1. Improving health and health care: Our fundamental objective is to improve
the health, health care, and experience of patients, clinicians, and populations.
We aim to see past health care’s conventional models and redesign care
effectively, economically, equitably, and reproducibly.
2. Increasing health equity: As we strive to create transformational change in
health and health care, we are committed to reducing inequity for historically
marginalized, disenfranchised, and oppressed populations and combating
forces that create inequities.
3. Enabling a culture of innovation at Penn Medicine: Every health care
transformation depends on the people behind it. We aim to identify, engage,
and retain exceptional clinical partners, support their development, eliminate
their burdens, and celebrate their success. We are a center for - not of -
innovation.
4. Driving innovation in the larger health care ecosystem: An innovation
center's purpose is to support innovation within an organization. The purpose
of a leading innovation center is to advance the field and enable other
institutions to follow. We aim to create and disseminate new approaches and
knowledge to facilitate the innovation of others.
