Systems and models of care studies factors for modifying complex systems (e.g., health care settings, populations). The intentions are to achieve higher quality (safer) care, better patient experiences and population health outcomes at less cost, and improved healthcare provider work life. Research in systems and models of care addresses the multi-level mechanisms that influence the delivery of health care.
Within systems and models of care, our faculty are harnessing the development and use of technology for improving health and healthcare. They are engaged in creating patient monitoring systems to enhance care team communication and advance provider care delivery for the early identification and treatment of disease and prevention of adverse events, digital health programs for improving health behaviors that will prevent cancer and chronic health conditions, and systems-based solutions focused on improving the health and well-being of the nursing workforce.
