This planned center site at the University of Alabama - Birmingham (UAB) for the I/UCRC for Health Organization Transformation (CHOT) intends to focus on the evaluation of health care delivery innovations, such as information technology, care coordination, and facility design strategies with the ultimate goal of generating knowledge that may result in efficient, high-quality care that is patient-centered and equitable. Our research activities align well with the proposed focus of the UAB CHOT site, and can be organized into seven domains: 1) information technology, 2) care coordination, 3) facility design, 4) efficiency, 5) quality of care, 6) patient-centeredness, and 7) equity. The new site plans to expand on CHOT's existing capacity, extend the geographic reach of the CHOT in the Southeast, and broaden the types of industry partners involved in CHOT.With health care costs in the U.S. reaching nearly 18% of GDP in 2011, and projections of this rate increasing to 20% by 2020, the need to identify ways to "bend the cost curve" has never been more critical. It is important to develop meaningful and multi-disciplinary partnerships between academic institutions and industry partner to yield innovative solutions to various issues in the U.S. health care system. They can also facilitate practice-based research related to the development and assessment of various health care delivery interventions. UAB's affiliation with the CHOT I/UCRC will facilitate and accelerate such research in our region by joining an experienced learning collaborative, and by leveraging the resources of UAB and potential industry partners. UAB's participation in the CHOT will enhance our graduate student experience in the classroom and in the field, and will provide faculty with opportunities for practice-based, multi-disciplinary research.

这个计划位于阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校 (UAB) 的 I/UCRC 卫生组织转型 (CHOT) 中心旨在重点评估医疗保健提供创新，例如信息技术、护理协调和设施设计策略，最终目标是生成知识，从而实现以患者为中心和公平的高效、高质量护理。我们的研究活动与 UAB CHOT 站点的拟议重点非常一致，可分为七个领域：1) 信息技术、2) 护理协调、3) 设施设计、4) 效率、5) 护理质量、6) 以患者为中心和 7) 公平。新站点计划扩大 CHOT 的现有容量，扩大 CHOT 在东南部的地理覆盖范围，并扩大 CHOT 涉及的行业合作伙伴类型。 2011 年，美国的医疗保健成本达到 GDP 的近 18%，预计到 2020 年这一比例将增加到 20%，因此找到“弯曲成本曲线”的方法的需求变得前所未有的迫切。学术机构和行业合作伙伴之间建立有意义的多学科合作伙伴关系非常重要，以便为美国医疗保健系统中的各种问题提供创新的解决方案。它们还可以促进与各种医疗保健提供干预措施的开发和评估相关的基于实践的研究。 UAB 与 CHOT I/UCRC 的合作将通过加入经验丰富的学习合作伙伴以及利用 UAB 和潜在行业合作伙伴的资源，促进和加速我们地区的此类研究。 UAB 参与 CHOT 将增强我们研究生在课堂和现场的体验，并将为教师提供基于实践的多学科研究的机会。
