Overview
The mission of the Division of Health Policy and Clinical Effectiveness (HPCE) is to improve the health and quality of life of children and their families and to transform care delivery through innovation, generation of new knowledge, and application of research into practice and policy. Transformation requires action at the clinical, community, and policy levels of the health care system.
Strategic goals
To be an international leader in improving child health and transforming care by:
- Serving as an “outcomes exemplar” through a sustained focus on transforming care at CCHMC by exceptional application of quality improvement (QI) science, innovation in health care delivery, and research.
- Achieving breakthrough advances in knowledge and application through effective partnerships and improvement and research networks that can accelerate the identification, development and testing of innovations in care delivery, nationally and internationally.
- Creating a scientific core for organization-wide improvement, improvement research, outcomes and health services research that supports, multidisciplinary, collaborative research distributed across CCHMC divisions and outside the institution.
- Supporting evidence-based policymaking at the local, state and national levels by translating knowledge into policy and by testing new approaches.
- Improving population health by applying improvement science, innovation, and research to improve early childhood outcomes in obesity, infant mortality and injury secondary to violence in the Greater Cincinnati Area (including Northern Kentucky).
