The newly established Center for Child Health Services Research, housed within The Mindich Child Health and Development Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, serves as a pioneering hub for investigating pediatric healthcare systems. Our mission is to catalyze interdisciplinary collaboration, foster innovation, and drive impactful research within and beyond our institution. In partnership with various departments, institutes, and governmental agencies, we focus on enhancing the quality, efficiency, and equity of healthcare services for children.

Our core areas of expertise include provider dynamics, payment systems, policy analysis, healthcare value assessment, and improving access for underserved populations. The center is dedicated to leveraging Mount Sinai's existing strengths in healthcare research and data analytics while cultivating a vibrant network of diverse experts. From clinicians to health economists, epidemiologists, and data scientists, our collective goal is to propel pediatric healthcare forward, ensuring the well-being of all children.

Key Areas of Focus

At the heart of our work is a commitment to transforming the healthcare landscape by reimagining the roles of providers, optimizing payer strategies, and shaping policy development. We focus on pioneering approaches that maximize the value and effectiveness of pediatric healthcare services, ensuring they meet the highest standards of care. Additionally, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers and addressing disparities in healthcare access, with a particular focus on supporting vulnerable populations. Through these efforts, the Center for Child Health Services Research continues to lead the way in creating a more equitable and efficient healthcare system for children.
