In Phase II operation, the I/UCRC for Health Organization Transformation (CHOT)intends to approach the multifaceted problems of health organizations with prospective, multi-disciplinary, and multi-level research strategies that take advantage of quasi-experimental designs and natural experiments, where feasible. In its five years of Phase I, CHOT has quickly removed research silos by pairing multi-disciplinary research teams of engineers, strategic management experts, management scientists, and health services researchers with high-impact problems that top-tier health systems struggle to address. Specifically, CHOT has produced research that enables health systems to better identify, apply, optimize, and assess the impact of innovations on access, quality, and efficiency of healthcare services. The organizational transformations identified through these collaborative efforts will continue to be disseminated as best practices where innovations indicate a need for sustained changes.U.S. healthcare expenditures, at 17.9 percent of GDP, account for over twice the healthcare spending per capita of the average of the 34 developed nations of the OECD. Nonetheless, U.S. falls below the OECD averages on many population health conditions. Current and planned CHOT research projects coincide with the most expansive change in healthcare policy in the U.S. CHOT members benefit by obtaining early validation of the direct impact of the innovations in their own organizations. Center researchers and students work closely with health managers, engineers, and other front-line professionals in health systems being studied. This kind of training, especially for doctoral students, supports the ability of future researchers and teachers to address industry issues from a position of real-world experience. It also engages participating industry professionals in identifying significant problems and understanding existing knowledge bases related to these problems so that they can more effectively implement any needed changes. Aggressive recruiting for graduate students among under-represented groups will continue, increasing the diversity of the workforce for both academia and industry. Exciting new opportunities will continue for undergraduate students in Center research activities, exposing them to health services research and encouraging them to pursue graduate education.

在II阶段运营中，I/UCRC的健康组织转型（CHOT）打算解决具有前瞻性，多学科和多层次研究策略的卫生组织的多方面问题，这些问题利用了准实验性设计和自然实验，可行。在第一阶段的五年中，CHOT通过与具有高影响力问题的高层卫生系统问题的多学科研究团队，战略管理专家，管理科学家和卫生服务研究人员配对，迅速消除了研究孤岛。具体而言，CHOT进行了研究，使卫生系统能够更好地识别，应用，优化和评估创新对医疗服务访问，质量和效率的影响。通过这些协作努力确定的组织转型将继续被传播，因为创新表明需要进行持续变化。医疗保健支出占GDP的17.9％，占经合组织34个发达国家平均水平的医疗支出的两倍。尽管如此，在许多人口健康状况下，美国在经合组织的平均水平下方。当前和计划中的CHOT研究项目与美国CHOT成员在医疗保健政策中最广泛的变化相吻合，通过早期验证创新对自己组织的直接影响而受益。中心研究人员和学生与正在研究的卫生系统中的卫生经理，工程师和其他前线专业人员紧密合作。这种培训，尤其是对于博士生而言，它支持未来研究人员和教师从现实世界经验中解决行业问题的能力。它还吸引参与行业专业人员确定重大问题并了解与这些问题相关的现有知识库，以便他们可以更有效地实施任何必要的更改。在代表性不足的群体中为研究生的积极招募将继续，从而增加了学术界和工业劳动力的多样性。激动人心的新机会将继续为中心研究活动的本科生，将他们暴露于卫生服务研究中，并鼓励他们接受研究生教育。
