Essential Hospitals Institute, formerly the National Public Health and Hospital Institute, researches and promotes evidence-based best practices and specializes in programs that promote the health of vulnerable people and underserved communities. The Institute uses data analysis and lessons learned to help members and the broader health care community achieve high-quality, cost-efficient care for all people.
Key topics of study include patient safety, quality improvement, care disparities, and other issues important to hospitals that serve high volumes of vulnerable patients. In addition to conducting research, the Institute educates and trains senior administrators and clinical leaders. It accomplishes this work through a Research Center and the Transformation Center, a catalyst for innovative change to improve quality and safety. Established in 1988, Essential Hospitals Institute is the research arm of America’s Essential Hospitals.
About the Centers of Essential Hospitals Institute
Essential Hospitals Institute encompasses a Research Center and the Transformation Center:
- The Research Center studies issues that have implications for health system performance as well as public policy. Topics include health care reform, delivery system transformation, quality and safety, population health, and health equity. The Research Center also compiles data on the characteristics of America’s Essential Hospitals members to inform policymakers, researchers, and others of issues important to hospitals that care for the vulnerable.
- The Transformation Center puts research into practice and fosters innovative change through education and tools, leadership development, and federal and state demonstration opportunities. The Center helps hospitals deliver integrated, high-quality, affordable, and population-focused care. A key component of this work is the Essential Hospitals Engagement Network, a part of the federal Partnership for Patients initiative to reduce hospital-acquired conditions and preventable readmissions.
