Director's Message

Welcome to the Center for Health Information Partnerships’ website. At CHIP we believe that bringing people, communities, and data together can drive measurable and sustained improvement in health. 

A Formula for Better Health

Our philosophy towards the work can be expressed as a formula for better health. It captures how we define those components we work with and how we use them to reach shared goals.

• People x Data = Information
• Shared Value x Trust = Partnerships
• (People x Data) + (Shared Value x Trust) = Better Health

Information + Partnerships = Better Health.

Our Work

Our projects are often out in the community, building new partnerships, bringing in new data, or developing novel ways to connect.  Some examples include:

• Connecting multiple health systems together for research that sees care across a region and engages patients (CAPriCORN)
• Training scholars as future leaders of learning health systems (ACCELERAT)
• Helping small independent practices to adopt best practices (INSPIRE) 
• Teaming up with community partners to address local health concerns (CIRCL-Chicago) 
• Analyzing EHR data from a large patient population to study health outcomes (NEXT-D)
