Institute for Health Care Delivery Science

The mission of our Institute is to analyze, develop, and disseminate evidence that can guide clinical decision-making toward improvements in the quality, safety, outcomes, and efficiency of care throughout the Mount Sinai Health System. The Institute’s vision is to provide an evidence-based foundation for continual learning within the Health System and to stand out as a model to be emulated by other integrated health care delivery systems around the world.

To succeed in our mission, the Institute’s goals are manifold. We aim to:  

• Identify variations in clinical practice and risk-adjusted outcomes across the Health System
• Recognize opportunities for decreasing the incidence of patient harm
• Conceptualize strategies for improving outcomes by conducting comparative effectiveness research of new practices and interventions
• Determine how to contain costs without sacrificing quality of care

On behalf of Dr. Madhu Mazumdar, we would like to invite you to become a member of the Institute, a meeting place for interested practitioners and researchers across the MSHS, provides infrastructure to support research and foster collaborations.

Our work in quality, safety, and outcomes research, three pillars on which health care delivery stands, faces a challenging but exciting future. Our current research portfolio includes assessment of health care associated infections, overuse of diagnostic imaging, survey of information for reduction of falls, and comparative effectiveness research of surgical modalities. We are available to all personnel in good standing within the MSHS whose professional identity includes a significant role towards improving quality, safety, and health outcomes of our patients. We encourage all to join.
